This is my code for role.claimer, and it doesn't work, any idea?

So the creep moves towards the controller, but then it stands still without claiming it... This is the code

var roleClaimer = {

run: function(creep) { 
    creep.memory.target = 'E1S42';
    if(creep.room.name != creep.memory.target){
        var getMeOut = creep.room.findExitTo(creep.memory.target);
        creep.moveTo(creep.pos.findClosestByRange(getMeOut));
    }
    else{
        creep.moveTo(creep.room.controller);
        creep.claimController(creep.room.controller); 
    }
}    

};

module.exports = roleClaimer;

check the return code of the creep.claimController function, it will tell you why its failing.

var result =  creep.claimController(creep.room.controller); 
console.log(creep + " tried to claim controller, got result " + result);

OK 0 The operation has been scheduled successfully.

ERR_NOT_OWNER -1 You are not the owner of this creep.

ERR_BUSY -4 The creep is still being spawned.

ERR_INVALID_TARGET -7 The target is not a valid neutral controller object.

ERR_FULL -8 You cannot claim more than 3 rooms in the Novice Area.

ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE -9 The target is too far away.

ERR_NO_BODYPART -12 There are no CLAIM body parts in this creep’s body.

ERR_GCL_NOT_ENOUGH -15 Your Global Control Level is not enough.

Thx, I'll try

[CharlyCreeper]

@geir1983 Ok, so I don't have enough gcl, do you know how can I increase it? I'm kinda noob

[Donatzor]

You level up GCL (Global Control Level) by upgrading controller(s) w/ energy done by creeps, you can read more here:

https://docs.screeps.com/control.html

Claiming a controller requires 600 available energy in your base.

Would you please explain how you arrived at that conclusion?
Because it is a false statement, if left alone.

[MrFaul]

@charlycreeper When your controller reaches RCL8 you should also gain a GCL for the first time.

Develop a profitable remote mining operation, if done wrong remote mining wastes resources.

I looked at your base, you have a lot of possible savings that you can pump into your controller.
But figuring that out is your job

[PowerDuDe]

@mrfaul I misinterpreted the docs. It's just the cost of the claim bodypart.

But if you knew it was false already, why didn't say so?

[MrFaul]

@powerdude where is the learning in that

[PowerDuDe]

@mrfaul well, that's not entirely true. I have a GCL of 2, when I reached RCL3. Atleast the game tells me when I join the public servers.

You already played a bit in 2017, control points for GCL are global every bit counts and is not lost.
He really just started.

@mrfaul Ahh I see.
