Hello everyone.
First: Sorry for my bad english />
Im currently trying to code an 'Automated Nuclear Reactor Control' Programm with a Computer and a Wireless Turtle beside the Reactor Champ... It works already very good - the Computer has a OpenCCsensor with a 'Inventory Sensor Card', scanning the Items every Second and compares them with a hardcoded Table.. If an Item is missed the Computer tells the Turtle to place a new of which Item into the Rector, and the Turtle have's 2 different Chests with รก Uran or Coolant Cells... This part works perfect.
But my Problem is now, that the Turtle also needs to replace "Depleted Uran" Cells - and heres my @topic Question:
Is it possible to tell the Turtle to select a specified Slot of another (not himselfs) Inventory?
I only know 'turtle.select()' but that is only for the Turtle-Inventory, not for an extern-Inventory />
The Computer knows the Slot-Number.. I also have a function on the Turtle for 'chestobj.getSizeInventory()' ... But all this is currently useless coz i dont know how to tell the turtle "suck slot#21 of Reactor-Inventory" />
Is there maybe some trick? Or do i need to take all Item out and apply turtle.getItemDetail() on it? />
//EDIT: maybe helpful my Code:

But im confused how to use pullItem or pullItemIntoSlot or pushItemIntoSlot ?
//EDIT:
I've tryd:
reactor = peripheral.wrap("front")
reactor.pullItemIntoSlot(1,22,NORTH,2) -- Output: Other inventory not found
reactor.pullItemIntoSlot(NORTH,22,1,2) -- Output: Argument direction cannot be null
reactor.pullItemIntoSlot("north",22,1,2) -- Output: Other inventory not found
--same with reactor.pullItem()
reactor.listMethods() --[[ Output:
...
pullItem(direction,slot,maxAmount?,intoSlot?)
pullItemIntoSlot(direction,slot,maxAmount?,intoSlot?)
--]]
If it helps, remember that when you use a peripheral's function, the peripheral is what performs the action.
The description you got for pushItem could be re-written as:
Quote
pushItem(string direction, number source slot, number amount to push, number target slot)
Push an item from the current inventory into slot on the other one. Returns the amount of items moved.
So, let's say the inventory had 64 thingies in its third slot, you wanted it to push 32 of those to the turtle's tenth slot, and the turtle was to the south of the inventory. You might do:
local inventory = peripheral.wrap("front")
inventory.pushItem("south", 3, 32, 10)
You should be able to get more readable function descriptions (albeit only for OpenPeripheral-supported blocks) by typing this sort of thing into the command line:
Hm seems like im too stupid
I have setup on each direction a Chest with different Items in Slot1 and also another in Slot1-of-Turtle... Still doesnt work - still says "Other inventory not found"
The chest is telling you it can't find the turtle in the direction you're telling it to look. For example, if the chest is north of the turtle, then you must specify "south".
If that doesn't make sense, just use the opposite direction to whatever you've been doing.
I thought the direction means "from the perspective of Turtle".
My Reactor is 'north' from Turtle, so i have to use inventory.pushItem("south",1,1,2)
'push' to get it from Chest to Turtle.
'pull' to get it from Turtle to Chest.
But what if i have more than 1 Chest? Actually it only works with one chest
Or means 'inventory = peripheral.wrap("front")' that i only can use the 'front = west' direction? So i must setup all other Directions also with peripheral.wrap() ?
When you wrap an inventory as a peripheral, you need to specify which side of the turtle faces the peripheral. This can be front/back/left/right/top/bottom (following the ComputerCraft standard for directions). You can't wrap peripheral blocks to the left/right if the turtle has tools in those positions. If the turtle turns/moves, you'll need to wrap the peripheral again.
When you tell a wrapped inventory peripheral to interact with another inventory, you instead use north/south/east/west/up/down (following the OpenPeripherals standard for directions).
