Tell me where I went wrong?

[PHOBOSS98 0]

I have this code

It works on a computer:

1. for k,v in pairs(component.radar.getEntities())
2. do
3.     if v.name=="PHOBOSS" --entity name
4.         then print (k,v.x,v.y,v.z) -- coordinates
5.     end
6. end

but it screws up in my bot:

stack traceback:

 machine:756: in function '__index '

...

 

is this suppose to be normal?

is this also a thing for drones?

if it is a way around this would be greatly appreciated

(note: I used the lua program in running this and the radar component comes from Computronics)

 

furthermore:

so while I was waiting I decided to try and move the process to the computer instead of the bot/drone... I got a bot to broadcast its radars data repeatedly again using the lua program:

1. while true do
2. component.modem.broadcast(001, serialization.serialize(component.radar.getEntities())) end

then I had the computer/server do this:

1. local component=require("component")
2. local event.require("event")
3. local serialization.require("serialization")
4. component.modem.open(001)
5.  
6. local function a(_,_,_,_,_msg)
7. seialization.unserialize(msg)
8. end
9. event.listen("modem_message", a)
10.  
11. for k,v in pairs(esrialization.unserialize(msg))
12. do
13.     if v.name=="PHOBOSS" then
14.         print (v.name,k,v.x,v.y,v.z) 
15.     end
16. end

but instead it does this:

 

well I shouldn't be complaining since it did what I want but I need this to be running in a loop and I just also want to know what the error means

again any help is appreciated

Need the full error of current code and a copy of the all the current code to help you bud...

local component=require("component")
for k,v in pairs(component.radar.getEntities())
do
    if v.name=="PHOBOSS" --entity name
        then print (k,v.x,v.y,v.z) -- coordinates
    end
end

no errors when used on a computer

but on a robot...

I'm running MC 1.12.2 with Computronics meant for 1.12.1 and although it works* I also cannot retrieve any player information from the radar. So I wouldn't call it a bug because I'm in the wrong version... but it's prob a bug...

oh yeah I talked to the devs about some bugs in the radar aparently they already fixed it in their latest version. You must be using version 1.6.5 for 1.12.1. Here's a link to the 1.6.6 version for 1.12.2: https://files.vexatos.com/?dir=Computronics/dev
