disk.stopAudio

Currently setting up a music system, and since turtles are banned on the server i use disk drives hooked up with wired modems, i want the stop button to stop all the music from all the drives, and i'm wondering if i can stop all of them at once using "disk.stopAudio"? i currently got "disk_0 to disk_17"

Any help is greatly appreciated -HDR <3

You would need to call it for each individual drive, which wouldn't be too hard. You could do something like this:

for i = 0, 17 do
  disk.stopAudio("disk_"..i)
end

works perfectly, awesome thanks.

A tip if you hadn't had all the drives in order like this you could use peripheral.getNames to get all the peripherals connected, and then use peripheral.getType to get the type of the peripheral.
This way you could set it up so that it automatically finds all drives and stops the audio.

Example

for _, name in ipairs( peripheral.getNames() ) do
    if peripheral.getType( name ) == "drive" then
        disk.stopAudio( name )
    end
end

Note that I haven't had a chance to test this since I typed it on my phone

You can also use peripheral.find() in a similar manner:

peripheral.find("drive", function(name) disk.stopAudio( name ) end)

Better:

peripheral.find("drive", function(name) return disk.stopAudio( name ) end)

Really better:

peripheral.find("drive", disk.stopAudio)

ended up using peripheral.find("drive", disk.stopAudio) since it required a lot less code. thanks

Beats me why you'd want to stick a "return" in your first sample, but your second line is indeed more compact than either. :)/>

When you put a return for the disk.stopAudio(name), then you increase the preformance. (Here not really ;)/> ) (http://www.lua.org/pil/6.3.html)
