[Question]

Is there any way to open a chest using a turtle and manage it? I am using Computercraft version 1.2, not the latest. That is probably a good idea to note.

Even in the latest version 1.4 you can't manage a chest (select chest slot) using turtles.

ff..sorry about the title. :)/>/>


Um…I'm pretty sure you can. Turtle Butlers are all over the place and they have this function, using suckDown or something

With the current version you can remove and add items to a chest. But you can not select a specific slot in the chest as far as I know.

suckDown() will use the turtle like a vacuum and suck up any items that are below it. Some uses are to ensure that the turtle gets all the sugar cane when harvesting, or to pick up wheat after a flooder has been used to harvest. Stuff like that.

For more information on what turtle functions are available read the turtle API on the wiki… http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=Turtle_(API)

thats all I need. code?

make sure your turtle is facing the inventory you want to pull items from and do turtle.suck(), suckDown() would probably work as well if you are above the inventory. Have never really used them in this manor, just mainly for picking items up off the ground.

That's not all you need. You also need to be on a version of ComputerCraft that supports turtles interacting with chests, which 1.2 isn't.

That would probably help too.


Anyway, thanks guys.
