Talk:Turtle (API)
From ComputerCraft Wiki
Is there a way to detect a block's type? Preferably without picking it up; it would be nice to be able to write a function to check the block about to be broken against a list of "Do not break" blocks, such as Industrial craft's MFSU, which loses all held power when picked up.
Also I request a way to set server-wide list of blocks immune to the turtle.dig() functions, such as say personal safes (Industrial Craft again).
- As far as I know, there's no way to check the block type with the current API. Could be a feature in the future though, never know. ( Scarfacial | Talk ) 22:17 - 8 March 2012
