magnet turtle help!

I have been searching and searching, but I can't find a single documentation on what the api is for the magnet turtle… I know how to get the methods but I can't use them. like one of the methods is just called activate, but i have tried EVERYTHING! turtle.activate(), activate(), activate, etc… Please someone help me, I would really like to know how to use the magnet turtles!

Can you tell us what mod is adding the magnet turtle?

It's probably peripheral based, use this code:

local magnet = peripheral.wrap(sSide)
magnet.activate()

Where sSide is the side the magnet is physically appearing on the turtle.

For more information about peripherals, check out the wiki page about peripheral.wrap(), or search in Google "computercraft peripheral tutorial".

I'm just going to move this to the Ask A Pro section for ya.

EDIT: also, I think he's right. I believe you have to wrap the peripheral directly.

They actually come from the "OpenBlock" mod, they act the same as the crane item in OpenBlock, which is used to lift blocks and entity.

Magnet turtle is OpenBlocks IIRC and yes you have to wrap it.
