Every time i try to run peripheral.getMethods() on an ICBMLauncher it just returns "table: 502cb323" or something like that. Am i doing something wrong?

no this is correct... peripheral.getMethods() returns a table of all the methods you can call on the peripheral... to look at these functions names just do this

for k,_ in pairs( peripheral.getMethods( side ) ) do
  print( k )
end

Oh... ok then.

To actually use those methods, you'll need to assign the table:

local tpm = peripheral.getMethods(side)
for k in pairs(tpm) do
  print(k)
end

Use tpm.methodName() to call the method listed as methodName (or tpm.whatever() to call whatever).

Ok new problem. The methods are all just numbers. So how do I use it?

is that using the loop? if it is make this change

for _, v in pairs( peripheral.getMethods( side ) ) do
  print( v )
end

that will get you the method names.... i forgot that ICBM has their methods thing done wrong...

EDIT:
how all peripherals react with the getMethods...
{ function name, the actual function! }

how ICBM reacts with the getMethods...
{ function name }

it doesn't actually get the methods, it gets their name...... stupid ICBM devs...
