"too long without yielding"(Solved)

i have made a mining turtle. its worked fine for a couple of days now but now i got the error : "*see title*"

Note that i call the function many times and it doesnt break dorecly

seems to have got stuck on the following function

function save()
	    s = fs.open("coords","w")
	    s.writeLine(size) <--- here is where it breaks
	    s.writeLine(depth)
	    s.writeLine(x)
	    s.writeLine(y)
	    s.writeLine(z)
	    s.writeLine(facing)
	    s.close()
end

googled and it might be lag? Confirm? Way around it?

That's weird. Your code works perfectly fine for me and should not be forcing a "too long without yielding" error. Can you provide the full code on pastebin so that we can check the rest for errors as well (it is unlikely that this particular issue would originate elsewhere, but still possible).

By chance are you playing on a server with modified ROMs or using a startup program that might change the behavior of opening files?

Im playing a singleplayer world through the launcher, might have modified the rem through there though

Its very easy to fix, in theory.
In your while loop, you do this:

while var % 2 == 0 do
    --something
    var = read()
end

Make that var into this:

var = tonumber(read())

this should work because var is not a string anymore

In what while loop? i have a lot of them

Try adding sleep() somewhere

I dont think a sleep will work, nor do i want to slow my turtle

I got the error, and i added sleep(0.2)
worked
is there other ways?

Yeah but if i put 0.2 sleep its gonna be 0.2 seconds slower EVERY SINGLE BLOCK it mines

I dont wanna slow my turtle..D; i call that function after every block mined

use:

os.queueEvent("test")
coroutine.yield()

This yields and is quicker than sleep(0)
