When Turtles Attack

[SaintNicster]

in my script i have turtle.drop(64)

but just that line works either way. nice short and sweet script

If you don't have a number, it'll drop the full stack. You're doing the exact same thing.

Hi all, I know this is a little bit old but I am having the same or similar problem. It seems so simple yet I must not be doing something right. Here are my steps:

1. Place Melee Turtle
2. Right click to enter terminal
3. at prompt typed "edit startup"
4. Added code:

while true do
  turtle.attack()
  sleep(1)
end

5. ctrl to save
6. ctrl to exit
7. typed "reboot" also tried using ctrl+r to reboot
8. computer reboots and displays "TurtleOS 1.5" in terminal.
9. Jump in front of turtle... and nothing...

Did I miss a step?

Are you sure it's a melee turtle?

 

[Silent_007]

This. ^^^

Or maybe you're not close enough? Their attack range is less than a player's would be I believe...

 

[h0gtitties]

Positive it's a melee turtle. And I am sure I am in range. I walked all over and around it

 

[Silent_007]

Sounds like a bug of some sort to me... (which I'm terrible at fixing).
Which modpack and version are you using? This won't tell me anything, but may enable someone else to help you.

Have you tried relaunching Minecraft already?
Maybe redownload the modpack? (Back up your world saves!!)

I like your picture :3☺

Try making a new melee turtle. Perhaps the one you're using is bugged for some reason. The code looks correct though.

3. at prompt typed "edit startup"

Are you sure you spelt "startup" correctly? Type ls to list the contents of the directory. That's LS in lower case. I've accidentally created stratup before.

Mine are doing the same thing. Are they not supposed to attack their creator anymore?

 

[voidreality]

What pack (or version of ComputerCraft) are you guys using? I just tested my turtles using the lastest DW20 pack and my turtles still attack me.

Im using Ultimate 1.0.1

 

[voidreality]

Just tested in Ultimate 1.0.1. Turtles still attack their owners (for about half health with no armor). I'm not sure why it's not working for some. Maybe a config setting? Do you have armor on that is preventing the damage? I'm using a diamond sword melee turtle (not sure if this matters, but that was my test)

Here is my exact test, each step.

1. Place the melee turtle down.
2. Right click the turtle.
3. type "edit attack" into the turtle.
4. type the following code into the turtle.

while true do
turtle.attack()
sleep(.5)
end

5. press ctrl
6. press enter (selecting save)
7. press ctrl
8. arrow over to "exit"
9. press enter (selecting exit)
10. type "attack" into the turtle.
11. run in front of the turtle to test it.

Ok, what would I add to this

while true do
  turtle.attack()
  turtle.dropDown()
  sleep(1)
end

to make it drop slots 2 & 3 as well? Need to put bones, arrows & occasionally bows into an enderchest.

 

[voidreality]

This will check all 16 slots for items and drop them down if needed.

while true do
turtle.attack()
for i=1,16 do
  if turtle.getItemCount(i) > 0 then
   turtle.select(i)
   turtle.dropDown()
  end
end
sleep(1)
end

Thanks, so far as I can see it works like a champ. And it's simple enough that I see why it works.
