Hello!

I couldn't find a thread about this...

I got an idea for a program that will count the number of items my mob spawner drops but the problem is that it will not save the value when i shut down minecraft..
Is there a way to make the computer to remember the value after a restart has been done?

Ps Im sorry if their is some miss spelling or false grammar. i'm from sweden so my english is not that good.

You could just store them in actual files and load them after restart; that should be the easiest way.

For example your count is "count" and equals 10.
Then you could store this in a file:

count = 10
f = fs.open("mobspawn", "w")
f.writeLine(count)
f.close()

at the top op the program you just have to put

f = fs.open("mobspawn", "r")
count = tonumber(f.readLine())
f.close()

That should be it. (Not tested)

You could use an config file.... I have an API that you're welcome to use, the syntax is:

os.loadAPI("uapi")
-- intCount being the number of drops
uapi.saveConfig({['count']=intCount}, ".config") -- will save it
-- on boot use:
local config = uapi.loadConfig(".Config")
count = config.count

then use count as the number, you can make it write the new number every time (using loops, or add it as part of a function/corountine)

To get it use the retriever (use the following command in terminal):

pastebin get rTDR0tjx uretrieve

then run it by typing 'uretrieve' (without quotes)
