Turtle Inventory

Is it possible to find out what a turtle has selected? eg. slot_1 = "stone" OR slot_1 = 1 –Item ID
If not purely through cc, are there any CC addons that would allow this, or other mods that would allow this in any manner (if I have to send the items to different inventories I will)

using openP you could either dump the item into a chest and use the chest as a peripheral, or get a narcisitic turtle which can read it's own inventory like a chest peripheral. There's no vanilla cc way of getting item IDs, but you can use turtle.compareTo() to compare blocks in the turtle's inventory.

You could override the turtle.select function:

local selected=1
local old.select = turtle.select
function turtle.select(slot)
  old.select(slot)
  selected = slot
end

function turtle.getSelected()
  return selected
end

You didn't read the original post very carefully. He wants to be able to determine exactly what is in each slot rather than simply which slot is selected.

also, turtle.getSelectedSlot() was added in 1.6!

Yes, but I don't think Open Peripheral narcissistic turtles can check their own selected slot, so I was providing a function to check the selected slot.

…although it's now obsolete :P/>

So, how would I code that? There is no documentation of openP online, and very little in game (that I found)

I've been using this.

Step 1: Craft a "Duck Antenna"
Step 2: Attach duck antenna to turtle
Step 3: Note the side it is attached on
Step 4: Run the program "openp/docs left" (or right)
Step 5: If you want more info on a listed function, run "openp/docs left method" (or whatever it is)
