Command Block (API)

The Command Block API allows you to run commands in a Command Block, using it as a peripheral. (The peripheral can only be used if allowed in the config, which is default to false)

Functions exposed by the Command Block, where commandBlock is wrapped to a command block:

Command Block (API)
Method Name	Description
commandBlock.getCommand()	Returns a string containing the command currently inside the Command Block.
commandBlock.setCommand(string command)	Sets the command in the Command Block to command. This does not run it.
commandBlock.runCommand()	Runs the command inside the Command Block previously set by manually editing it or by using commandBlock.setCommand()

Note

All Command Block functions are to be used after wrapping the block in a peripheral. example:

commandBlock = peripheral.wrap("left")
commandBlock.setCommand("time set 1000")
commandBlock.runCommand()
local currentCommand = commandBlock.getCommand()
