[OpenPeripheral] find location of player

i made a snippet of code to get player locations, inventory data, and other various data down to whether the player is on a ladder, and write it to the file.

the coordinates are relative to the sensor, add you're coordinates to the coordinates displayed
in the output file to get the actual coordinates

make sure to replace "NAME_OF_REPORT_FILE" and "USERNAME_HERE" with the respected properties

--code by creeper9207
ip = peripheral.wrap("left")
ifile = fs.open("/NAME_OF_REPORT_FILE", "w")
i = peripheral.call("top", "getPlayerData", "USERNAME_HERE")
i2 = textutils.serialize(i)
ifile.write(i2)
ifile.flush()
ifile.close()

Problem with using the sensor like this is that it only has like a 5-6 block radius. Also the code is too short and generic to call it "my work".

very true, this is more of a tutorial

change your code tags << to [ (and >> to ])

looks good though

Is there any particular reason you call flush on the file handle right before you close it ? As soon as you close a file handle everything is written to the file . No flushing necessary ?

Also why are you wrapping the peripheral on the left side to "ip" but call the peripheral on the top manually on peripheral.call() ?
This way ip is rather pointless ^^

I like to jump the gun.

note: only works in Older versions of OPA, ex: it works in crackpack 1.5.1.0
