I was trying to make a program for my wireless turtle so it can turn a message I sent to it to a line, such as if I send it turtle.up() it would go up, ect. but No matter what the function wouldn't work right to do that.

function writeLine()
  local file = fs.open("file", "w")
  if file then
    file.writeLine(cmd)
    file.close()
  end
end
function runLine()
  shell.run("file")
end

rednet.open("top")
rednet.open("bottom")
rednet.open("back")
rednet.open("front")
rednet.open("right")
rednet.open("left")
while true do
  user, cmd = rednet.receive()
  writeLine()
  runLine()
end

loadstring(cmd)()

ofcourse you cant send "turtle.forward()" but you'll have to send just "turtle.forward" without parentheses

Thanks human, but the turtle still will not move, or attack, or mine... lol I put the loadstring(cmd)() after the rednet.receive, put it inside it now, and works perfectly, thanks. wow again it stop working...

Post your revised code.

I fixed it myself, and a little help from a friend, and when I did:

loadstring(cmd)()
os.pullEvent = loadstring(cmd)()

it looped the one command I gave the turtle, and if something was in its path it crashed. But as you can see I edited it to work right, no offense but you guys weren't very good help.

nice to see you got it finised, i was going to add my little fix in there

Yeah, really easy to help when you cant post your code... if you edit something, you got to give us the new code. You weren't very co-operative either.

It's fixed, so that's good enough.
