you will need to read and write to a file,
when a frame moves a computer it reboots it so you need to write a file before moving with info about where in the pattern you are and then read it on startup to resume
Ask a simple question, get a simple answer
- Thread starter HeffronCM
- Start date

Or, use a separate computer to store the state and communicate between the two over RedNet or with WR:CBE wireless transmitters.
that is writing to file CC computers have a file system built in
The only reason floppies are useful (with pastebin get and put being so prevalent) is a turtle building GPS towers (or a turtle army) using a startup script in the floppy
/me pretends to understand
Yeah, I guess... well then why not edit the startup to be pastebin get code?
Or does it not reboot the computer?
I think servers can disallow CC from accessing the internet, otherwise you could set up something that DOS'd the server that it was running on. Also some people feel that having something inside of the Minecraft world that reaches out into the real world is cheating. I don't mind doing it myself interactively as a player, but setting up an automated system that needs the real-world internet to work is not elegant.
Yeah, I see three options:
* Use Framez instead of Funky Locomotion (it has very good CC support and the computer doesn't reset when moved)
* Write the number to a file inside the computer, rescue that value and add 1 to it every iteration up until MAX_INTEGER
* Run the program outside of the frames and have it move the quarry via wireless redstone like PhilHibbs mentioned
In any case, I'd recommend writing the value to a file and reading it every time regardless of where the computer might be. That way, if, for whatever reason, the computer restarts, you'll always be able to resume from where you left off.
Yeah, with HTTP enabled, hacking other computers is really the only puspose of floppy disks.
Yes, when I played on a PvP server I had computers around the world that would tell me when something loaded their chunks. And since each computer was very far from the others, I was using some custom HTTP code to comunicate with my main base. It would also send me an email of someone non-whitelisted entered sensor range in my base. Good times...
You can:
Code:
shell.run("pastebin", "get", "<pastebin code>", "startup")
shell.run("startup")But you might as well use a file copy from the floppy disk to startup
But a turtle placing and setting up freshly auto-crafted computers will need to use a disk drive to have the new computer execute the code they need to execute,
otherwise it turns into chicken-egg problem
I just wanted a place to say... Live Long and Prosper, Leonard Nimoy, wherever you are off to now, 'In Search Of'... "Logical, Captain."
Mind if I cross-post? http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/thr...cussion-red-thread.45220/page-184#post-969746I just wanted a place to say... Live Long and Prosper, Leonard Nimoy, wherever you are off to now, 'In Search Of'... "Logical, Captain."
As far as I know, it's the same way you do it in vanilla, go to the Mojang site and change it there... if I'm wrong someone will correct me.

So I decided to take another crack at what should be some simple coding in computer craft.
My problem currently is "startup:4: 'for' limit must be a number"
I assume this is caused by iPulses not being defined at the start of the code.
Is there a command in computercraft that is basically "if variable not defined then = 0"
For reference here is what my code looks like now (Note I have no clue what I am doing and have never coded anything in my life)

You will need to read the specific line in which the number is stored and then (maybe) cast it to a number type variable (haven't coded Lua in a while).
fs.open(), if I'm not mistken, just opens the file to be read and assigns it to a variable.
I think what yo want is something along the lines of
file = fs.open("<StoredFile'sName>", "r");
iPulses = fs.read(file, <line>);
PS.: I can't check the wiki right now, but you get the basic gist: assign the opened file to a new variable then read the value of iPulses from said variable.
What's the optimal number of speed upgrades to put in EU liquid transfer nodes per port on a Big Reactor?
(I'm not using a turbine, instead I'm sending steam off to TE dynamos via Ender Tank)

And more questions:
A: why am I getting no power in either the internal buffer or at the power tap? Does having the fluid taps cause it to over-ride this completely?
B: is 950c still the right approximate temperature for best efficiency?
