EXP Turtles - Can they drop EXP?

[Succubism]

Hey guys.

I've used:
x = peripheral.wrap("right")
x = setAutoCollect(false)

All this seems to work, when autocollect's on or not, however using: x.dropLevels(30) Always returns "lua:52: attempt to call nil"

Any thoughts?

Just to point out, yes, the turtle does have enough levels to drop them

No they cannot drop levels. The reason it returns nil is because it is not a valid command. The only way to get experience out of them is enchanting books or tools.

You're over-writing the peripheral.wrap assignment when you re-define x as "setAutoCollect(false)".

That snippet of code should read

x = peripheral.wrap("right")
x.setAutoCollect(false)

Done that way, x.dropLevels(30) should work because x will be assigned properly.

I didn't think so. Reason I ask is because of this.

-Snip.-

This is just an error in my post, I'm not used to programming so I didn't notice it right away.
It was done correctly as you noted in the actual game.

It could be a version issue (ie. the version with the drop XP feature is not the version you're using) or it could be a bug in the API.

Ahh I had no idea he added in such a function. My apologies.[DOUBLEPOST=1382978980][/DOUBLEPOST]Actually just where did you get that info? His CC thread has no mention of the dropXP or dropLevels commands.

Probably. As the link above specifies the information is outdated in contrast to the modpack I'm using (Unleashed v1.1.3)

Ah yeah that's not even the same mod. That would likely be the issue.

Sounds about right.
