Hi all,

I am wanting to interact with a powered spawner from MFR, when calling "getStackInSlot" it returnes a function eg "Function : 77583f51"
This changes everytime aswell so how can i make this into a readable line so my auto detect function reads what is in the spawner and then dislpays it?

Any help will be appreciated

Please post your code. You are likely not calling the function.

Currently not using my own code, using a test code at the moment but here it is

for i,v in ipairs(peripheral.getMethods("powered_tile_0"))
  do print(i..". "..v)
end

sp = peripheral.wrap("powered_tile_0")



print(sp.getTankInfo)

You are not calling the function.

print(sp.getTankInfo())

Now it returnes a table number?

Print the contents of the table.

So i managed to sort the table thing out however if i want to print out what the stack name is, what would i do?

[Lyqyd]

What do you mean by "stack name"?

This guide should help you deal with individual table keys. You may also find this thread helpful.

Ok well i still done understand, let me explain so you full understand and can help

Im using MFR spawner with networking cable to get the name of the mob in the safari net, the code im using atm to get the data is

for i,v in ipairs(peripheral.getMethods("powered_tile_0"))
  do print(i..". "..v)
end

sp = peripheral.wrap("powered_tile_0")


local test = textutils.serialize(sp.getStackInSlot(1))
print(test)

In which returns this

when looking at the forum post you linked i tried this

 local test = textutils.serialize(sp.getStackInSlot(1))
print(test[2].captured)

However all this did was "attempt to index ? (a nil value) I really dont understand, i have never done this kind of work with tables before

[KingofGamesYami]

That should be

print( test.safari_net.captured )

*facepalm*

Didn't notice you were attempting to treat the serialized (eg string) table as a table. Try using the table directly.

What do you mean table directly?

print( sp.getStackInSlot( 1 ).safari_net.captured )
