for z = 2,16 do
turtle.select(z)
if turtle.compareTo(1) == false then
turtle.drop()
end
end

Why on earth would that drop anything from slot 1?

[Kingdaro]

...It wouldn't?

[theoriginalbit]

Is there more to your script than this? It could be happening somewhere else...

[gronkdamage]

There is more code - but it's blocked fine. And it worked fine in 1.4.7; like it should have. That's what's weird; it started this behavior (not working) with 1.52.


Here's the full program - it's still being worked on; and sorry it's not blocked properly - but ....

local loops = 2

-- functions
local function tryDown()
while not turtle.down() do
if turtle.detectDown() then
turtle.digDown()
else
turtle.attackDown()
sleep( 0.75 )
end
end
end

local function tryUp()
while not turtle.up() do
if turtle.detectUp() then
turtle.digUp()
else
turtle.attackUp()
sleep( 0.5 )
end
end
end

local function tryForward()
while not turtle.forward() do
if turtle.detect() then
turtle.dig()
else
turtle.attack()
sleep( 0.5 )
end
end
end

Try putting that code by itself in a turtle; it's gotta be a computercraft bug. I'll go report it. It's acting REALLY strangely. (It looks like drop might now drop everything? Not just the slot?)

[theoriginalbit]

its your code right here

--start getting oak
turtle.select(1)
for i = 1,loops do
  -- get sapling and plant...
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.suck()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.place()

  -- put the rest back
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.drop()

that drops the first slot...

[gronkdamage]

Read the rest of the program - that part is correct - it is supposed to pick up from the box to the left; plants trees, puts the rest back. Goes to the box to the right; picks up bonemeal - places it on the tree; then puts it back... (ie. it's putting a sapling down and fertalizing it...)

The bug is at the top of the tree, after it's cut the wood - it's supposed to look at the first slot (which will be wood) then drop anything that isn't matching what's in slot 1; that's the problem - it's dropping everything (including slot 1)...

Try putting the first piece of code in a turtle (the lines I have above) - and put something in slot 1, slot 10 that match; then something in slot 16 (put 20 things) - and make it drop(1) - watch what happens... It bugs out.

[gronkdamage]

Actually don't even bother with a program - load 1 item in each slot; then go to lua

type in this:

turtle.select(1)
turtle.drop()
turtle.drop()

watch what happens... It starts dropping stuff from slot 2, then 3, then 4 - even tho slot 1 is still selected.

[theoriginalbit]

oops there it is...

line 98 — 101

for y = 1,16 do
  turtle.select(y)
  turtle.drop()
end

doesn't do that for me... rename startups, reboot your turtle and try it right away.

[gronkdamage]

So using default configuration; removed all mods but CC and Forge 611 - it's still doing it

What version of forge do you use?

[PixelToast]

the absolute latest

[gronkdamage]

Strange - I tried it with the latest (and CC only); and with the recomended. Everytime, it would drop from slots that weren't selected... :/ I'll report it as a bug; but we did a fresh install - and it still does it (both on my server - and in single player)...

[gronkdamage]

Just an update; when I fill every slot - the code works exactly as it should. When 1 slot is empty; it bugs out.

[PonyKuu]

You can make a workaround. If it drops things from other slots only if you try to drop something from an empty slot, do this:

for i = 2,16 do
  if turtle.getItemCount(i) > 0 then
	turtle.select(i)
	if not turtle.compareTo(1) then
	  turtle.drop()
	end
  end
end

Edit: And it will run a bit faster, since turtle.select requires about a tick to be done, when turtle.getItemCount performed almost instantly

Thanks PonyKuu - Cloudy confirmed the bug; but I'll give this a try
