the easiest way would be to have a setup where it knows 2 places and has a math and logic setup to find the other waypoints
for example:
a single pickup location
the lower end of a turtle only maitenance hatch
moveUp X blocks per floor
move forward into the hall ( i'd use the middle celing of the hallway )
then move forward Y to get to the rooms door
then go into the room and drop off the items

i kinda got into it first for c++ style for statements
i've used both b4, usualy i go with fs unless i need to flush info to a file that wont ever close until the program exits
for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) { ect...
then lazyness took over causing the rest to followi've used both b4, usualy i go with fs unless i need to flush info to a file that wont ever close until the program exits

what i'm doing is adding string based keys to a table when an event occures, but b4 that event it has to check to make sure that key doesnt alredy exist

currently i'm using
simply put, how can i see if a var in a table exists when i expect it not to exist?
if var[varname] == nil then ...but its giving me the attempt to call nil error , witch with what i'm doing i expect that variable not to exist yet. but i need to be able to make sure it doesn't exist before continuing on with the rest of the program.

so the timeout = os.startTimer(3) is where i'd put the 5 min delay (300) and then the rest looks like it'd work perfictly
[edit] though not sure if i get the ( output and "activated" or "deactivated" ) part, is that just a simple inline if to return one of the strings?

pretty much yes , player activates the detector , it turns on the farm for 5 min , but the player can then turn it off by hitting the detector again.
the hitting it again part ( and posibly the time out , havent tested that part yet ) doesnt work

#93178 Watermill Setup Question
Posted by
on 04 March 2013 - 09:02 AM

Ask a Pro
to get this to work you would need 2 relays , and a retreiver along with the turtle
use item, drop direction of outgoing relay , it will go to the watermill then have the retreiver constantly pulsing to get the bucket back that passes into the relay that puts the empty bucket in the turtle
its 10x easier with rp alone

#83792 Pathfinding Logic

Ask a Pro
the only way i could think of is having already mapped an area run a series of recursive path-finding algorithms to find the shortest way to get there
how i think of it is check if point A and point B can directly be accessed , if it cant, find an area that has the most open area to get closer , and then run itself to find a way to that point .
so you would need to recursively call a function that can get it closer to point B , and every time it runs point "B" is moving closer untill the path is found.
then theirs the return value , witch i think would best be created by a series of return a table of moves into a table or return the entire contents of that table using lua's ability to return multiple things at once
all in all its a huge thing to tackle , but not impossible.
though if u want them to auto map it gets exponentially harder lol.
edit :
just thought of another posible way
run the map though a loop finding all open areas with 2 or more space and return those positions for each direction then do a simmilar thing to what i mentioned above but on existing paths finding all that it can take , then find the shortest

essentially what i want to do is be be able to call a function with a string that is the variable name i want to use.
i'm doing it this way as the string will be grabbed from args ={ ... }
if at all possible i'd also prefer not to have to set it up as a dictionary

i 'm having a problem with chunk loader turtles.
on the server i'm on they are set to load a 3x3 area, and with that i have a single turtle that runs around placing blocks to build my house
well , airship house thats about 16 chunks long and half as wide . but every now and then when its running , it unloads . i've actually watched it happen on /chunkloaders , no one was around and it was doing its job up until it just dissapeared. (unloaded)
at one point i did notice some force loaded chunks get separated from the 3x3 , but usually they reattached fairly quick.
any idea whats causing it ?
