Using computers as command blocks

Is there a way to make a computer perform command block functions, like saying something in the chatbox or giving a player an item, without connecting command blocks through redstone?


Thanks 😃😃😃

Not on their own. I think they can wrap command blocks as peripherals, but I'm not sure because I don't really use them.

OmegaVest is right, you need to use redstone

here is an example of how to use it to teleport the nearest player to 0, 300, 0. place the command block against the back of the computer and run the code

local cmdb=peripheral.wrap("back")
cmdb.setCommand("tp @p 0 300 0")
cmdb.runCommand()

Can you confirm that it works?

yep, tested and functional

Why can't I access Command Blocks?
Is there additional configuration, plug-ins, etc, required?

I am using:
Minecraft 1.47
MCForge minecraftforge-universal-1.4.7-6.6.0.497.zip
CCcraft 1.481
…and nothing else.

I have a Command Block attached onto each of the computer's six sides.
But the computer refuses to recognize them.
———————————————————-
allsides = redstone.getSides()
for k,side in ipairs(allsides) do
touchable = peripheral.isPresent(side)
print("peripheral on ",side,"? ",touchable)
end
——————————————————–


peripheral on top? false
peripheral on bottom? false
peripheral on front? false
peripheral on back? false
peripheral on left? false
peripheral on right? false


——————————————————–
According to my system, CommandBlocks aren't seen by CCcraft.




Likewise, your code

local cmdb=peripheral.wrap("back")
cmdb.setCommand("tp @p 0 300 0")
cmdb.runCommand()

gives error
attempt to index ? (a nil value) –again it says bock is nonexistent.


Why doesn't the command-block work like a peripheral for me?

Thanks

in the ComputerCraft config file there is a boolean you have to set to true to use the command blocks as a peripheral…

I'm a little disappointed. I was looking forward to a bank of command blocks and wires.
