Hi everybody!
Im trying to make a sensor to display all the people closeby,
But the problem i have is; Everytime i run the code it says
Table: $$$$$$
This is my code;
mon.peripheral.wrap("left")
print(mon.getPlayers())
But that only shows the table and a random serie of numbers.
Can somebody explain me what i have to do to get it right?
And maybe expand the range? THankyou :D/>
Thankyou!
Kind regards,
Luc

You don't want to print the table, you want to print what's IN the table. If you're not sure what's in there, then one method is to use the pairs iterator function to get the index names and their assigned values.
Per
this tutorial, a suitable loop would be:
for key,value in pairs(mon.getPlayers()) do print(key,value) end

I get this;
Test:2: Attempt to inex ? (a number value)
Line 2:
do print(key,value)

I get this;
Test:2: Attempt to inex ? (a number value)
Line 2:
do print(key,value)
Try print(tostring(key), tostring(value))

i have this now
radarr = peripheral.wrap("left")
while true do
a = textutils.serialize radarr.getPlayers())
do print(a)
sleep(1.75)
end
end
That shows me on the monitor:
{
{
uuid = "################################"
name= "Myname"
},
}
I just want the name
I get this;
Test:2: Attempt to inex ? (a number value)
Line 2:
do print(key,value)
Try print(tostring(key), tostring(value))
Still shows me only the table

radarr = peripheral.wrap("left")
while true do
a = radarr.getPlayers()
for k, v in pairs( a ) do --#iterate through 'a', k bein a key, v being the value of a[k]
print( v.name ) --#prints the value of a[k].name
end
sleep(1.75)
end

That works! Can you also expend the range of a sensor?
Thanks!

I'd have no clue on expanding the range of the sensor - I'm not even sure what mod you are using. If I had to guess, I'd say modifying the mods' config file would work.

Oh well, that would be no option modifying it haha, its an actual multiplayer server owned by others :P/>

Depending on the sensor, you might be able to increase the range by crafting it together with a turtle, then having that run your script. IIRC, the OpenPeripherals sensor has a range of something like 10 blocks, but gains another 20 when used by a turtle.
