this is a program that makes walls with a platform on them:

Spoiler

code:

Spoiler


local tArgs= {...}

function placeDown()
turtle.place()
turtle.up()
end
function linewall()
placeDown()
placeDown()
turtle.placedown()
turtle.forward()
turtle.forward()
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.up()
turtle.placeDown()
end
function fiveDown()
turtle.down()
turtle.down()
turtle.down()
turtle.down()
turtle.down()
end
function Return()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
fiveDown()
turtle.back()
turtle.back()
turtle.back()
end
function returnWall()
linewall()
Return()
end

for i= 1,tonumber(tArgs[1]) do
returnWall()
print("done") --optional
end

Note: this program is very manual.

how to use:

fill the first slot with the building material.
run the program with a space and the amount of blocks in length the wall needs to be.

In the end the


for i=1, tArgs do

Should be


for i=1, tonumber(tArgs[1]) do

Because the arguments are put in a table and are not just plainly stored

EDIT: I messed the bb-code up it's fixed now

that bug is fixed. thanks for noticing it me.

@cogilv25: ok, but i first begin with making an square wall that has corners, but for the building inside the walls, i need to use my building API for that.

this doesn't work he places a block then turns left and right <- Sorry if that seems negative :)/>

p.s. your code is quite messy you might want to indent your code and space it out a bit :)/>

p.s.s. a technique to make your code shorter is to look for repeating patterns and use loops instead :)/>

Hope this helps you :)/>

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see your (doesn't work yet) lol
