Hello.
I am very new to lua, and programming in general.
I am attempting to modify the stock Excavate program to make it go upwards.
This was very easy to do. Unfortunately, there is no bedrock to stop it, so it just keeps going.
I have tried various ways to make it stop after a certain number of blocks… no go.
This is the current code: http://pastebin.com/FnQtqgS7
The way I understand it, I need to make the functions tryDown() and tryForwards() return false. I don't know how to do it. :/

The way I understand it, I need to make the functions tryDown() and tryForwards() return false. I don't know how to do it. :/
