1.3 Help

So I totaly wanted to use the new turtles but, how do I turn a turtle on like how Cookiebal did it in his turtle factory? Also how do I use the wireless devices?????? I RLY want to know.

you can turn turtles on by having a computer do peripheral.call("left", "turnOn") this would make anything to the left of the computer (a turtle for example) turn on

you use modem's with rednet, there are already examples of rednet everywhere, I won't bother typing out another

Wireless modems use redset. For turtle commands type help turtle in the shell.

Help turtle wont tell me about modems

did anyone say it would?

I didn't find the turnOn parameter in any help page or lua file.
Are all the possible parameters for the peripherals documented somewhere? Or are they defined in the Java files? ^_^/>/>

If you place a computer next to a computer, then use peripheral.getMethods(side), you will get a table:

lua>textutils.tabulate(peripheral.getMethods("left"))
turnOn shutdown reboot getID

They will be documented soon enough though :huh:/>/>

Ah, good to know. Haven't really had the time to play around with all the new stuff. I guess experimenting will answer most questions by itself then.^^
Thx for the info! :)/>/>

Yeah, I have to admit that making docs isn't really the most glorious part of development. :huh:/>/>
