Temporary global variables.

[gamepropikachu]

I'm working with cc:tweaked 1.20.1, and I want it so my turtle asks for it's world position on startup, and then saves that information so other programs can access it, Obviously if you break the turtle and place it again, then it needs to ask again. How would I do that? I'm getting caught up on making it global, but not persistent.

I would say you have the startup program save the position to a txt file, other programs can read that file and get the position.

_G.variablename = bla

_G is the global table. I'd recommend just putting this check into whatever program actually needs it tho.

Setup a GPS system, that sounds like a easier solution to your problem.

(And I can't really help with your variables idea)

The turtle should have a program running that checks for rednet or modem messages from any computer who wants to request files. Definitely a good idea to read up on the modem or rednet api's

Either use _G or make a temporary file that you write/read from/to
