Okay I got it I'm partially retarded. I didn't know the chest had to be on the apiary not the computer, but now I realize that the open peripherals move items from one peripherals inventory to an adjacent inventory. Thanks for the help hilburn!

Yea I was trying to use the swap stacks method but i came to the same conclusion. I also tried making a buffer chest like you said but had no luck, I'll try it again.

I made this simple program for making honey but for some reason it won't move the bee's too the first and and second slot in the apiary.

can anyone tell be where i went wrong?

yea I have no idea I dont even know what a environment is. I looked is up but still doesn't make sense to me. Im just not gonna bother with shell.getRunningProgram()

Im not quite sure how I'm supposed to set up the environment. Im looking in shell and from what I can see shell.getRunningProgram() isn't going to work if I run a program with loadfile().

Because when you run a program with shell.run it adds the program to a new spot at the end of a table with tProgramStack[#tProgramStack + 1] = sPath then when you call shell.getRunningProgram() it just returns the last variable in the table

Unless your talking about os.run()

os.run() seems work for running the program but every error is returned as attempt to call boolean. Because its not storing a string in sError. (I think)

bError, sError = pcall(os.run({}, "advancedorefinder", "orefinder.save"))

Loadfile() seems to work too but if I use it then The program that it runs cant use shell.getRunningProgram()

Thanks Bomb, that works first time I have ever seen dofile and loadfile there isn't much info on them either. I think that the shell.run should be modified to return values :/

I believe this is part of your other post

As stated by Bab this would be what your describing.

function m(a)
 if a == "x"  then
  print("Thanks")
 end
end
local x = "x"
m(x)

What?

Please post more information

Like Lydyd said you need to check if its a mouse click other wise its just going to check every event.

while true do
 local event, button, x, y = os.pullEventRaw()
 if event == "mouse_click" then
  if x>23 and x<26 and y==13 then
   -- code here
   break
  end
 end
end

I have been thinking about this all day, and just before I was about to go to bed I thought. Maybe the pcall is returning true because the shell.run is completing without errors but the part that is acualy erroring is whats inside the shell.run. Can anyone conferm this is what's happening? And if so can I put a pcall inside the shell.run or is the another way of doing it.

Simple Environment Proof "turtle.forward()"

local function forward()
 while not turtle.forward() do
  if turtle.detect() then
   if not turtle.dig() then
    return false
   end
  else
   turtle.attack()
  end
 end
 return true
end

Personally I like the snippet idea

In fact MiscPeripherals has just what you were looking for its called the chat box. Although I still suggest the RIFID's from Immibis's Peripheral because then you wouldn't have to broadcast your password across a server If that's what your doing.

Im sure it is possible but you would need a peripheral added by a mod check this section of the forum to find one:

Immibis's Peripheral can make it so if you have a key card in your inventory it will open the door when you get close, it might be better for your situation.

Scratch that,

only two values were returned

first was true and second was false which doesn't seem to make sense because the first value should be false and the second should be a string.

What's the best way to do that, I haven't used lua for a while.

That isn't working either and I'm fairly sure it's supposed to have the "not" because if it errors bError returns false.

it just prints false.

Okay so this is a basic version of what I have.
But this does not seem to be working, it doesnt print the error.

Main program:

bError, sError = pcall(shell.run, "testprogram", "variable")
if not bError then
   print(sError)
else
   -- continue
end

Test program:

error("This is an Error")

So would it look like this?

   if turtle.getFuelLevel() > 0 then
	    return assert(false,"Error, there must be fuel in the turtle!")
   end

or

   if turtle.getFuelLevel() > 0 then
	    assert(false,"Error, there must be fuel in the turtle!")
   end

I'm trying to add an error menu to my gui program so if it runs a program that results in an error then it will print the error in a new menu.

I cant seem to make a custom error message for if the program is being used wrong. I don't really know how to use pcall() can you even return a custom error message back to it?

GUI program:

  bError, sError = pcall(shell.run, "program name", "variable")
  if not bError then
	menustate = "error menu"
  else
	menustate = "main menu"
  end

Program ran by GUI program:

   if turtle.getFuelLevel() > 0 then
	return false, "Error, there must be fuel in the turtle!"
   end

also tryed

   if turtle.getFuelLevel() > 0 then
	return "Error, there must be fuel in the turtle!"
   end

I have considered updating my Tunnel program. But I personally think I need to start over with it, or at least replace a lot of the code.

But that's a lot of work, I'll add it to my list of things to do. I don't know when I'll get to it.

Omg I thank you so much for this lol, that's exactly what it is. I don't know why I didn't see that.

The bug only happens when when the turtle program is exited between the vertical holes.

Thanks for the information on the full inventory thing.

Yea It would be fairly simple but I need to modify my gui program to ask them if they want to use ender chests. Its a little more work but i'll see if I can get to work on it
