firework crafting program help

[wbrown2wmb 0]

I am trying to set up robots to craft fireworks and am having a problem. Each robot will only respond to up down forward and back. any other command in lua throws and error, even exit. I get it on required, component and everything else.

 

stdin:1: attempt to call field 'turnleft' (a nil value)

stack traceback

kernel:137: in function turnleft

stdin:1: in main chunk

[c]: in function 'xpcall' /bin/lua.lua:62 in min chunk (..tail calls..)

 

What am I am missing?  I found the robot.lua and placed it in the bin folder for each robot but it didn't help.

 

What I want to do is take all the items from a chest, craft the stars, then craft the rocket and put it in a different chest.

 

I have no clue to the error. can probably write the code if I can get the robots  working.

robot.turnLeft() is the command, all commands are in camelCase so the first word is not upper case but the first letter of each subsequent word is.

Thank you, but it does not explain why I get the same error on  local component = require("component") on required.

 

I want to test the commands to see what they do before I code them.

Dont use "local" in the luau prompt, it'll make it local to that line

ok, thanks. Have to learn the syntax. Found out some of my mistakes are because I don't know the commands yet. Founs a turtle progam that I think I can convert to work in the robot.

 

Anybody have code to check the contents of a chest. I have had no luck finding an example.

I think that is done by one of the robot upgrades but I cant remember what one (inventory manager or something), have a look on the OC Wiki ( http://ocdoc.cil.li ) for information on the component methods
