Describe your problem, including steps to reproduce it

I tried a few different things:

1. Program drone to pick up an item

2. Program drone to export item into an area with only a drawer

3. Program drone to pick up an item

4. Program drone to export item into an area with only a chest

5. Tell drone to pick up an item

6. Tell drone to export item into an area with only a drawer

7. Tell drone to pick up an item

8. Tell drone to export item into an area with only a chest

None of these worked, while the drone was rendering with an item in it's "hand".

Any other comments?

This is on a server, the drawers are from "Storage Drawers" and I am using Open Computers to "tell" the drones what to do.

Please post the program you used for the drone. You can export the program to Pastebin via the programmer GUI and then paste the link here.

I will say that i've got drones happily picking up items, moving them around and storing them - both in storage drawers' Drawer Controllers and also into Ender Chests. I have noticed the occasional rendering bug where a drone appears to be holding an item after it's stored it or used it, but it wasn't easily reproduced so i decided to just leave it be.

At the moment my program is just this:

  }
}

With a computer telling it to do stuff.

drone=components.droneInterface
drone.clearArea()
drone.addArea(-176,58,160)
drone.setAction("inventoryExport")

With an item in it's "hand" from drone.setAction("pickupItem").

Haha, I just did a CC program yesterday for a drone :D

try with
while not drone.isActionDone() do os.sleep(1) end
after drone.setAction("inventoryExport")
Edit : missed the info, my code is for CC. adapt it for OC.

It does exit, and the drone just sits there as before.

Am I missing something stupid?

Github autoclosed this one but I do intend to investigate further. Also gives me a chance to learn Open Computers :p

Okay, that is odd. The pieces are working now and the computer is not. Whatever, guess it works now.
