[Question] executing something after gps.locate() returns

the question makes no sense… sorry –edit

admins: delete this post if you want.

First off, you probably shouldn't be naming your variable "table", as it could overwrite an important API. Even if it's local, you won't be able to use said API within the scope of the variable.

Also, you're setting the location to an empty table right after inserting the coordinates, and you're putting it into it's own empty table. Not sure why.

Here's a new code:

rednet.open("right")
local x,y,z = gps.locate(5)
local coords = {}
coords.location = {x=x, y=y, z=z}
coords.type = "turtle"
coords.action = "save"
Stable = textutils.serialize(table)
rednet.broadcast(Stable)

thanks Kingdaro, very usefull tips.
