m.setAutoCollect(true) attempt to call nill

[internetrush]

Tryng to setup an enchanting turtle, the beginning code is :

m = peripheral.wrap("right") (the crafty part is on the right of the crafting turtle)
m.setAutoCollect(true)

On the auto collect, it fails, attempt to call nil.

Any ideas? Using FTB ultimate.

From what I have read (I am no expert in CC):

You are trying to call something that doesn't exist, i.e. attempting to call nil. Something is set to nil, that your program is trying to access. It is like calling x if x hasn't been declared.

I would suggest going into lua and running peripheral.isPresent("right") and peripheral.isPresent("left") just to be sure that the turtle isn't confused about which side is which.

What is this turtle supposed to do? What does .wrap do and what does calling m with setAutoCollect do?

(I don't know any of the commands, but I do a lot of programming at school, so I might be able to help you debug through intuition)

OP indicated he was making an enchanting turtle. Said turtle has the ability to collect XP orbs and enchant items and books.

Peripheral.wrap() associates the adding device on the specified side to a variable for ease of reference. SetAutoCollect(true) tells the turtle to automatically pick up nearby XP orbs

i believe you don't need to wrap a crafting table on a turtle as it is a regular computercraft peripheral
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't realize you were referring to the enchanting table since you said "crafty"

Namias is correct. The function you are calling doesn't exist. Are the two lines right next to each other in your code? It could be a problem of variable scope.

You also might try m.getXP() or m.getLevels() to see if the interface itself is wrapping at all.

Edit: just realized. The first peripheral attached to a turtle is usually on the left. I would try that before anything else. You're probably just looking at the turtle wrong.

Is it an enchanting turtle (crafted with turtle + enchanting table), or something else? Your code should work.
