End Automata¶

Picture

End automata is a turtle with an End Mechanic Soul upgrade. This upgrade has all of the abilities of a Weak Automata plus its own additional abilites:
• Teleport between saved locations
• Save a location as a warp point

| Peripheral Name | Interfaces with | Has events | Introduced in | | --------------- | --------------- | ---------- | ------------- | | end_automata | World | No | 0.7r |

How to craft¶

To create an end soul, you need to feed 10 endermans via the feedSoul function to a weak automata core. The core needs to be placed inside the turtle into the current active slot(Usually the first one).

The turtle needs 10 endermans in total:

Mob	Amount
Enderman	10

Step by Step:

Create a weak automata turtle(A normal turtle with a weak automata core as upgrade)
Place another weak automata core in the current active slot of the turtle
run weakAutomata#feedSoul() for every enderman while the enderman is in front of the turtle

Example

core = peripheral.find("weak_automata")

successful, message = core.feedSoul()
print(successful)
print(message)

Functions¶

points¶

points() -> table | nil, string

Returns a list of all saved points and their names

savePoint¶

savePoint(name: string) -> true | nil, string

This saves the turtle's current location as a warp point with the given name which can be teleported to at a future point in time.
Returns true if the location is successfully saved, or nil and an error message.

deletePoint¶

deletePoint(name: string) -> true | nil, string

Delete a saved warp point with the given name.
Returns true if the warp point exists and is successfully removed, or nil and an error message.

distanceToPoint¶

distanceToPoint(name: string) -> number | nil, string

Returns the distance from the turtle's current location to the location of the point using the Manhattan distance formula. If the operation fails or the point does not exist then nil and an error message will be returned.

getWarpCooldown¶

getWarpCooldown() -> number

Returns the current cooldown for warp operations.

estimateWarpCost¶

estimateWarpCost(name: string) -> number | nil, string

Returns the fuel point cost to warp from the current location to the point with the given name. Or nil and an error message.

warpToPoint¶

warpToPoint(name: string) -> true | nil, string

Teleports the turtle from the current location to the location of the point with the given name.
Returns true if the turtle is successfully teleported or nil and an error message.

portalShipPrepare¶

portalShipPrepare(direction: string | nil) -> table | nil, string

Prepare to cross a portal.
Direction includes up, top, down, bottom, and front (default).
If a portal is detected, a table with target dimension's information will be returns. Or nil and an error message.

Field	Type	Description
`name`	`string`	Target dimension's ID
`pos`	`string`	Position after teleport
`facing`	`string`	Facing direction after teleport
`costs`	`number`	Costs to active teleport
`canSpawn`	`boolean`	`true` if the destination is not blocked so turtle can perform the teleport, `false` otherwise.
`shipId`	`string`	The teleport id, uses in `portalShipActive`

portalShipActive¶

portalShipActive(shipId: string) -> true | nil, string

Active a portal and teleport through it.
Can only be invoked in a short period after portalShipPrepare returns the shipId.
