#265171 Wireless Control

Posted by fishermedders on 28 February 2017 - 02:12 AM in Turtle Programs

Your paste for the file 'controller' is private, see here.
Otherwise, the Turtle Client looks good - Just for future reference, it's nice to make your code look nice by indenting.

e.g

if command == 'up' then
  turtle.up()
end

I would also recommend the use of 'elseif', because there can only be one case per received rednet message, so you really don't need to check for all of them.

e.g

if command == 'up' then
  turtle.up()
elseif command == 'down' then
  turtle.down()
elseif command == 'forward' then
  turtle.forward()
elseif command == 'back' then
  turtle.back()
elseif command == 'left' then
  turtle.turnLeft()
elseif command == 'right' then
  turtle.turnRight()
elseif command == 'fuel' then
  turtle.select(16)
  turtle.refuel()
end

Another thing that would make/break this program (if it had the controller) is the ability to dig & place (with up varieties), and select (maybe clicking the button and then entering the slot number).

Also, where you have

id, command = rednet.receive()

I would recommend checking to see if the commands are coming from your pocket computer, like so.

--Run program 'id' on Pocket Computer to get id number.
id, command = rednet.receive()
if id == 1337 then -- This checks the received id to make sure you can only send commands.
  if command == "up" then
    turtle.up()
  elseif command == "other commands" then
    --etc
  end
end

This is useful because if someone else is receiving messages, they can broadcast these same commands and then potentially control your turtle.

Otherwise it looks good keep working on this homie

#265152 PLoad | A way to use pastebin in your code

.......

THIS IS AN API YOU NITWIT, YOU JUST EXPLAINED HOW TO USE THIS API.

lmao chill hombre, I'm just saying that instead of downloading the file every time and loadstring'ing it every time, it'd just be easier to download it once and maybe even check for newer versions. The whole point of my posts is my suggestion of that of the pastebin blacklist

Also what do you mean about the general-use api?

Just like if you're gonna have a bunch of functions to use in a program, why not create an API that you can use over and over again (or just for this 1 program), that has all of the functions that you need in it, and download it once rather than spamming pastebin for it. Just my opinion.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Basically, if you wanted to have all of your functions in a file, you'd do something like this:

myapi:

function centerPrint( sText, nY ) -- The text to center, the Y Line.
  tSize = { term.getSize() }
  term.setCursorPos( math.floor( tSize[1]/2 )-math.floor( #sText/2 ), nY )
  term.write( sText )
end

function sayHello()
  print( "Hello, world!" )
end

function foo()
  return "bar"
end

Then in another file, you would be able to do things like:
programusingapi:

bDidLoad= os.loadAPI("myapi")
if bDidLoad then
  myapicenterPrint( "Hello World!", 1 )

  myapi.sayHello()

  print( myapi.foo() )
end

I usually make APIs like this for functions that I use most often.

There is no function called :

textutils.slowWrite()

So you'll have to use:

textutils.slowPrint()

I was suprised to see this too, but there actually is a function called textutils.slowWrite()

#265087 PLoad | A way to use pastebin in your code

This seems clever but it would probably not be as useful as you'd think; iirc, pastebin will blacklist a server (or your computer if on emulator)'s IP if you make too many calls.

Imo it would just be easier to make a general-use api to include your functions in.
