turtle.transferTo work around

I'm running a 1.2.5 minecraft because of tekkit… however I need access to this command to continue my project. The Turtle API wiki thing says this is a 1.4.5 command only (newer than my version). Is there any possible way to use this command even though its newer? (or a work around (API?))

Wait for Tekkit to update. From what I can tell they are working on it now that RP2 is released.

There's no way to specifically use that command in earlier versions, but you can possibly screw around with some of the functions to make yourself a makeshift transferTo.

function transferTo(slot, num)
  turtle.dropDown(num)
  turtle.select(slot)
  repeat until not turtle.suckDown()
end

Except that suckDown and variants are only available in versions at or above 1.4, I think. As far as I know, the dev build of tekkit is at 1.41, but any version higher version would require a manual install, or another mod pack.

Plus, this function would probably only work provided that there's one empty block below the turtle.

Thank you, This is helpful, the 1 square can be arranged.. things can always be solved with a little creativity :D/>
I am on 1.41 so this should work
