Quick question for the folks that might know.

Has the ICBM compatibility with CC since stopped working? Come to try again today to find out this no longer worked:

radar = peripheral.wrap("which ever direction")
radar.getEntities()

If you try this, it'll give you: FILENAME:WHICHEVERLINE: attempt to index ? (a nil value)
This kinda blows. Any suggestions?

This code will tell you if there is a peripheral on the specified side and the methods it has.

local side="left" --change this to the side.
if peripheral.isPresent(side) then
print("There is a "..peripheral.getType(side).." peripheral on the "..side.." side.")
print("Its methods are:")
for t,y in pairs(peripheral.getMethods(side)) do
  print(t);
end
else
print("There is no peripheral on the "..side.." side.")
end

Wing's code has already established that there's no valid peripheral on the specified side. Things aren't going to work with his current mod set up.

As to why: ComputerCraft doesn't accept ICBM blocks as peripherals unless some other mod rigs things otherwise. That other mod may be ICBM. That other mod may be OpenPeripheral. It'd be a matter of finding out which, then checking the version numbers of the two or three mods in concern.
