Can Someone Make A Couple Scripts?

2. Can someone make a script or is there already a script to where your turtle will follow you on command?
If so can I have the link, If not can someone make it if it is indeed possible?

You mean like a remote wireless controller?

not possible for it to automatically follow you, sorry. they don't know where you are or where they are. Can remote control them though, look in the program library

they may know where they are, just use my API with them

1.Turtles are blind now ;)/>/>
2.Remote control works from other comp only and not so useful :(/>/>
3.Almost all, turtle can do now effectively is eating the land :(/>/>

Build a house with one.

It is easier to do without turtle.
It cannot see, which block to place.

I disagree, check out my API.

its more fun and challenging with a turtle.
If you fill its inventory in the correct pattern you can use turtle.select(num) to select a specific inventory slot for it to place.


You can also autoharvest wheat farms and tree farms etc. Theres alot to do with them.
Automatically dig rail tunnels etc.

Oh yes. Find and cut all logs of a tree is an interesting task.
Tunnels and build patterns are blind tasks.

Here, for question #1. Place the turtle so it faces the leftmost part of the hole, give it a bunch of dirt, put this program in a file, and run the file.
It "feels" it's way around the hole (no pun intended) so it figures out the size of it, so you don't need to input anything or wall it off or such.
If there's some nearby cavity it's not supposed to fill (like a moat or a cliff) you might need to wall that off, though.
If it misses part of the hole, either fill it in manually or re-position the turtle and run the program again.

-- Select the first non-empty slot in the inventory.
function selectBlock()
for i=1, 9 do
  if turtle.getItemCount(i) ~= 0 then
   turtle.select(i)
   break
  end
end
end
-- Fill all blocks below the turtle.
-- Returns true if at least one block was filled, false otherwise.
function fillColumn()
local depth = 0
while turtle.down() do
  depth = depth+1
end
if depth == 0 then
  return false
end
for i=1, depth do
  turtle.up()
  selectBlock()
  turtle.placeDown()
end
return true
end
-- Fill a line of columns.
-- Returns true if at least one column was filled, false otherwise.
function fillLine()
local patience = 8
local filledAny = false
while patience > 0 do
  patience = patience-1
  if fillColumn() then
   filledAny = true
   patience = 3
  end
  turtle.forward()
end
return filledAny
end
-- Fill a line of lines, a.k.a. a grid.
function fillGrid()
local goingBack = false
while fillLine() do
  if goingBack then
   turtle.turnLeft()
   turtle.forward()
   turtle.turnLeft()
  else
   turtle.turnRight()
   turtle.forward()
   turtle.turnRight()
  end
  goingBack = not goingBack
end
end
-- Run program.
fillGrid()

Thanks ill just copy and paste to notepad++ lol
Do you guys know of any good os for computercraft? I tried wolfos but it doesnt let me edit any of my files for my turtle and is almost impossible to find the files on the computer ;)/>/>

Suppose you should use Mysticos or RedWorks. I'm making an Os right now as well, but it won't be ready for quite some time.

which do you think is user friendly because i have a server with computercraft and my friends join but im the only one that knows how to script. I want them to have fun but I want to have the standard computer as well (i dont want it for all the computers, because a turtle is classified as a turtle and i cant do script writing)?

I suppose it's RedWorks then. Besides, it's a more major project with more features.
