[question] Invetory drop?

Title: [question] Invetory drop?

Question: Im playing on a FTB server, and i made a automatic spawner with mele turtles, and i wanted to automate it,
But i cant figure out how i can get the melee turtles to drop their full invetory.
My script atm:

while true do
turtle.attack()
sleep(1)
end

So i want a script some what like that, and that the turtles drop out the mob drops on my transposers,

And also i have a second question, how can i copy and paste scripts?

Thank you!

Split to new topic.

You can use

for i = 1, 16 do
    turtle.select(i)
    turtle.drop()
end

to go through all of your slots, then drop them.

Thank you, ill try that.

And do you now a easy way to copy and paste?

Depends on what you mean. If you mean copy/paste into CC, then you will have to just copy one line at a time. Press the ctrl button once to bring up your menu, then use ctrl v to paste the line.
Although, I would suggest typing it yourself, so that you can get into the habit of writing the code.

i tried this script:

while true do
turtle.attack()
sleep(1)
for i = 1, 16 do
turtle.select(1)
turtle.drop()
end

And it gives me this error:
bios:338: [string "startup"]:8: 'end' expected (to close 'while' at line 1)

It might be really noobie but im new to scripting :P/>

You need an end for the while statement, and another one for the "for" loop. You only have one which terminates the for loop, leaving the while without a terminating end.

can you maybe tell me how the script then goes?
because i tried difrent things and none of them worked

Example: (functionally just that one end line more, I don't know if you couldn't have added that yourself too, but you requested it…)

while true do
    for i = 1, 9 do
        turtle.attack()
        sleep(1)
    end

    for i =1, 16 do
        turtle.select(i)
        turtle.drop()
    end
end

(I added added another for-loop, because I don't like looping through every single slot just to drop one or two items, it would run without it)

ty, i know what my mistake was, i didn't do the double end :P/>
now that i see it it makes sense
