Title: [Lua][Error] Item Count -1 Out of Range

line 133, you declare for i = 0,9 then try to call turtle.select(0)
Turtles have 16 item slots declared as 1-16, meaning 0 is an invalid number.
Try changing to for i = 1,9 instead.
I'm assuming you're used to more C-like languages where arrays are 0-indexed right? lol

ofc that might not be the only bug, but it's the only one I've spotted so far.
If that doesn't work, just say so and I'll have another quick scan.

Indeed I am. Even though I know that lua is 1-indexed, I keep making that mistake.

Fixed that, and am still getting the exact same error, "turtle:18: Item count -1 out of range" =/.

What version of lua are you using?
I've had a look through turtle, but in 1.481 line 18 doesn't seem like it's anything that would cause any issues.
(yeah, I haven't updated yet, I'm waiting a bit because it means updating all my mods and I'm lazy lol)

I'm using whatever notepad++ is on lol. Presumably 5.2, but I'm not certain. Line 18 is just a comment though, adding to my confusion. I appreciate your help by the way.

Notepad++ doesn't determine what version of the mod you are using.
Go to "/.minecraft/mods" and it should say what version of computercraft you're running.
The line 18 it refers to is in "turtle", which is in the computercraft zip in the mods folder in "/lua/rom/apis/turtle/turtle".
I like giving help, it makes me feel purposeful and restores my faith in people.

It might be this:

if i==1 then
  for j=10,12 do
    turtle.select(j)
    turtle.transferTo(1,(turtle.getItemCount(j)-1))
  end
end

Are slots 10, 11 or 12 empty?

ahh, I thought you were asking about Lua itself. CC version is 1.5

They were, and filling them seems to have fixed it. I'm a bit confused as to why though. The program hasn't reached a point where that code would be run, so why would that throw an error if it's syntactically correct? also, why would that error show up as being on line 18? Thank you very much for your help by the way!

It errors because if j is empty, turtle.getItemCount(j) returns 0, and 0-1 is -1, therefore you are attempting to transfer -1 items from slot j to slot 1, which is kind of impossible. Just make sure to test if the slot is empty.
Also, if you think the program shouldn't have reached there yet, open a file at the start and make the program log what it is doing at each step so you can see the order it's actually doing things in to make sure it's not doing things it shouldn't be.

Also the line 18 referred to is line 18 of the turtle API, not line 18 of your program. I'm assuming it's something related to the transferTo function.
