[Lua]

I was trying to make a program for my wireless turtle so it can turn a message I sent to it to a line, such as if I send it turtle.up() it would go up, ect. but No matter what the function wouldn't work right to do that.

function writeLine()
  local file = fs.open("file", "w")
  if file then
    file.writeLine(cmd)
    file.close()
  end
end
function runLine()
  shell.run("file")
end

rednet.open("top")
rednet.open("bottom")
rednet.open("back")
rednet.open("front")
rednet.open("right")
rednet.open("left")
while true do
  user, cmd = rednet.receive()
  writeLine()
  runLine()
end

loadstring(cmd)()

ofcourse you cant send "turtle.forward()" but you'll have to send just "turtle.forward" without parentheses

When you receive a message put it.

Thanks human, but the turtle still will not move, or attack, or mine… lol I put the loadstring(cmd)() after the rednet.receive, put it inside it now, and works perfectly, thanks. wow again it stop working…

Post your revised code.

Post your revised code.

I fixed it myself, and a little help from a friend, and when I did:

loadstring(cmd)()
os.pullEvent = loadstring(cmd)()

it looped the one command I gave the turtle, and if something was in its path it crashed. But as you can see I edited it to work right, no offense but you guys weren't very good help.

nice to see you got it finised, i was going to add my little fix in there :P/>

Yeah, really easy to help when you cant post your code… if you edit something, you got to give us the new code. You weren't very co-operative either.

It's fixed, so that's good enough.
