 Event peripheral | |
| Fired when a peripheral is connected (directly adjacent) to the computer. | |
| Returned Object 1 | The string value of the side of the connected peripheral. |
 Example | |
| Prints the type of peripheral and side when peripheral is attached | |
| Code |
while true do
event, side = os.pullEvent("peripheral")
print("A "..peripheral.getType(side).." has been attached on the "..side)
end
|
| Example | |
| Prints if it found the peripheral it was looking for ( in this example modem, more peripheral type here peripheral.getType | |
| Code |
while true do
event, side = os.pullEvent("peripheral")
if peripheral.getType(side) == "modem" then
print("A modem has been attached!")
break
end
end
