Where can I figure out how to edit an existing script? This one in particular...

http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/11175-enchant-o-matic/

I just want it to print to a small 1x1 monitor the lvl its currently at and maybe total exp spent..this possible?


**Also not have it drop straight down =S

Get the name of the program, and do "edit (insert program name here)"?

Assuming you know nothing about Lua, I'll break some news to you.
No, yes, no and no.

First: Everything it's printing is on the turtle command prompt. A screen isn't even being used in this program, sorry. If you want anything to be displayed on a screen, you'll need to use the rednet. Which is possible, but annoying to set up and very difficult to explain. :x

Second: Add "print(lv)" to print the level

while true do
local lv = levelCheck()
 
print(lv)
 
if lv >= 30 then
  getBook()
  m.enchant(30)
  turtle.drop()
end
sleep (2)
end

Although this will print QUITE often and will more than likely ruin the point of it happening. The program would need to be rewritten almost completely if you wanted this to be implemented well.

Third: It's always and only enchanting with 30 levels. You'll just be getting a bunch of (Level 30 --> Level 0) text.

Fourth: Turtles can only drop items below, above, or in front of them. If you want to drop it behind, you'll have to add in some turning or other movements, depending on what else you have in mind for this setup.

Sorry!
