[Mod] basic_robot [basic_robot]

[hajo]

another project .. https://github.com/dan200/ComputerCraft -
aka programmable robots in lua for minecraft

Well, that is not a mod - it is a project written in java.
Getting that to run with minetest would be a huge amount of work.

[Fixer]

Actually there is some mod in minetest with programmable robots, called https://github.com/minetest-mods/turtle

called https://github.com/minetest-mods/turtle

Did you check it out lately ?
Last time I had a look (long ago), it wasn't usable.

There are turtleMiners, but as of now, they can only move & dig.

AFAIK, basic_robots is currently the only working mod
with useful, programmable robots for minetest.

Okay problem, how does one program robot to build lets say a circle or sphere or even a dome (semi circle)

to plot a circle the formula is x^2+z^2=r^2

r=radius

Of course this assumes that you're at 0,0,0 so you'll have to offset current position.

[ADHQProth]

if (i == nil) then i=0;self.label("RoadPaver") turn.left(); end move.forward() if read_node.down()=="default:desert_sand" then dig.down() end if read_node.down()=="air" then place.down("default:cobblestone") end

[hajo]

if (i == nil) then ...

Please use 'code' to format source code:

Code: Select all

if (i == nil) then 
  i=0; self.label("RoadPaver") turn.left(); 
end 
move.forward() 
if read_node.down()=="default:desert_sand" then 
  dig.down() 
end 
if read_node.down()=="air" then 
  place.down("default:cobblestone") 
end

program robot to build lets say a circle or sphere

The above road-paver is no solution for his problem.

I got this error. I'm using Windows 10. I can't create a new world with this mod. Please help me.

It's in this code:

Code: Select all

dofile(minetest.get_modpath("basic_robot").."/robogui.lua") -- gui stuff
dofile(minetest.get_modpath("basic_robot").."/commands.lua")

Apparently this does not detect robogui.lua and commands.lua, but they are here, in the correct ubication. I'm using the 0.4.17.1 version.

[rnd]

what is nil is this:
minetest.get_modpath("basic_robot")
My guess would be you didn't extract in correct folders which can be seen from path name

I am laughing very hard about myself. I have removed the underscore of "basic_robot" to avoid problems, and instead I generated them. I already solved it XD thanks. I knew it because "basic_robot" appears in the code.

Hi,

a recent update "drop fix, commit 539144f " apparently broke harvesting wheat and others.
Before, the robot got 1 or 2 wheat and 1 or 2 seeds when digging farming:wheat_8, the same as harvesting by hand.
Since, the robot only gets exactly 1 wheat and no seeds (while harvesting by hand still works as before).

The offending change seems to be the "break" inserted at line 495 of "basic_robot/commands.lua"
Please review.

Thanks

Heyy can you add this mod to content db?

[rnd]

I have to ask to be moved.

[ZenNimo]

Hello, I don't understand why this program doesn't work

for count2 = 1, 4 do
for count = 1, 5 do
move.forward()
end
turn.left()
end

I'm searching a function move.forward() that moves the robot only one step
so a code like this
move.forward()
move.forward()
will make 2 steps

Or, an alternative :
for count = 1, 2 do
move.forward()
end

my question is : how to program such function in basic_robot and in which file (.mintest) can we add this
function so that it belongs to the mod from the start.

thank you very much for your answer



and

[rnd]

Code: Select all

for count2 = 1, 4 do
for count = 1, 5 do
move.forward()
end
turn.left()
end

This tries to move 5*4 = 20x every second (in one step), but you are only allowed 4x move in one second. To move only 1x and then stop do

Code: Select all

if not moved then
 move.forward()
 moved = true
end

If you just write move.forward() it will keep moving forward - it runs program every second. If you SAVE program it will be there always - even after server restart or whatever. Starting robot later will run the program. You can make robot start automatic when server starts, edit this inside init.lua

Code: Select all

 basic_robot.admin_bot_pos = {x=0,y=1,z=0} -- position of admin robot spawner that will be run automatically on server start

thank you mod is working now

[Linuxdirk]

Folder name is irrelevant when providing a name via mod.conf. I’d file a bug.

Fantastic mod. I will admit it is very daunting for a non programmer type to use but trial and error is helping understand Lua. Sorry folks but my brain just does not work like a programmers. One item I am trying to find an answer for is this. I would like to use some sort of lua controller to automatically start my robot every 24 hours. So, is this possible and does any one have guidance on how to make it so?

[Ignaramico]

im using this mod, but for some reason i cant dig with it, i get this message
" robot error:144: need0.0008 energy to dig default:dirt. use machine.generate to get some energy"
im using the code from the wiki

Code: Select all

dig.forward()
 place.forward_down("default:dirt")
 --place.forward_down("default:cobble")
 move.forward()

i can place block just fine, but no dig any

[hajo]

i cant dig with it, i get this message
"robot error:144: need 0.0008 energy to dig default:dirt. use machine.generate to get some energy"

Just as the message says - the mod is configured so that the robot needs energy to dig.
(Feature, not a bug :)

On your own server, or singleplayer, you can change the config.
Otherwise, you need some commands to generate energy with the robot first.
Might need fuel too.
