How do I make a Turtle place Torch's?

Hello,

I am trying to make a program that will Place a Torch then move Forward and place another.

So… could anyone Help me?

Thanks.

Easy

turtle.refuel(1) -- Make sure you have fuel :P/>/>/>/>
turtle.place(2,4)  -- Make sure the torch is on slot 2-4 so you don't run out easy
turtle.forward()

Now to make that constant, do "while true do" or "for i = 1, <How many times you want the turtle to move> do" then make sure for both of those to do "end" at the end of your code. Or if you want to know more about .turtle API go here
SO it should look like this when doing the for loop

turtle.refuel -- Either have the turtle fully fueled, or input this into the for loop
for i = 1,20 do -- You can change 20 anytime, but the 20 means how long it will travel
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.place(2,4)  -- Make sure your torches are in slots 2-4.
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.forward()
end

Its basically the same if your doing a while true do loop, but I do not recommend it. Since with the for loop you have more control with your turtle.

Make sure the turtle is one block away from the block it is facing or else turtle.place will return false.

My Code is:

turtle.refuel(1)
for i = 1,20
   turtle.turnLeft()
   turtle.turnLeft()
   turtle.place(2, 4)

   turtle.turnRight()
   turtle.turnRight()
   turtle.forward()
end

That does not work for me.

Replace turtle.place(2,4) with

turtle.select(2)
turtle.place()

Also, I get an error saying

"bios:337: [string "Torch"]:3: 'do' expected"

My Code:


turtle.refuel(1)
for i = 1,20
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()

turtle.select(2)
turtle.place()

turtle.turnRight()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.forward()
end


Could you help me with that?

For I = 1, 20 do

You left the do out

A Big Thank you to all of you guys!

I have got it working!

Great Thanks!
