I have this code to make GPS towers, and I had asked someone for some help with getting a turtle to turn on a turtle, but now I have finished my code, and in testing, I found that i get a error every time it tries to turn on the computer.

Here's the offending code:

local c = peripheral.wrap("front")

c.turnOn() --turn on the comp

can someone help?

Tha tlooks like it should work. What kind of error are you getting?

Sorry, I forgot to include it />

I get

:102: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

It sounds like it is not detecting that there is a peripheral in front of it.

• Is the turtle directly next to the computer
  
• What version CC do you have? 1.42 might have a bug for this, but that's just a wild guess.

I do have 1.42 and my wireless mining turtle is directly in front of the computer.

I don't know if turtles can turn on turtles...
I do know computers can, but, well...
Maybe it's because of the local keyword, I dunno...
I hope i helped your braincells accelerate...

I dunno, unless I'm missing something, this might be a bug? I'm hesitant to say so though.

I don't really know what you mean... I'm trying to get my turtle to turn on a computer not a turtle... And I was thinking about posting this in the bugs section as a possible bug... If you guys can think of anything, let me know!

No idea, man. By all rights, this should work.

Is it facing the computer?
If it is then try placing computers all around it then executing the code.
Whichever one turns on is the front.
