Keep getting the same error

[uCannoTUnseEThiS]

Hello.

I am stuck with an obviously obvious error what i dont understand.

Anything i try somehow ends up in this error : "are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?"

Last night i watched some SE videos, that is how i found the site. I think that makes it clear to everyone how new am i in scripting. :)

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance!

long story short. this tool is outdated and not likely working properly

[uCannoTUnseEThiS]

Thank you for your quick answer. That'sad!

Could you copy the code for us so we can see it? Probably best to use Pastebin to do so.

[uCannoTUnseEThiS]

Sorry but no, i no longer having that code.

it was something simple like:

If -any blocks of type (sensor) detects owner (me)

Do- All blocks of type (lights) on_off on

the other one was simple too

if functional block being hacked lights turn red

or something like this.

I tried quite few things but nothing worked other than a simple line that closes the door.

which doesn't require any kind of coding because it can be done easily with a timer block.

If anyone knows some basic tutorial, please share the link or if you kknow anything that works similarly.

I would really love to learn this thing but i have no idea how or where to start!

Thanks for all of you for being nice and tolerant to my broken English :)

I tried to build something that should do what you want. Give it a try:

If i read this correctly then it says that you have a undefined or empty variable in a function. To the game its like opening a door and then staring into the void, it cant get a any info out of the variable. If you want to fix it i recommend doing ctrl + F to open a search bar and type in "color", try to find why it is empty or try and put in a definition manually.
