Movement Functions Not Working

I made an API to make some things about programming turtles easier, but for some reason, the function that are supposed to make the turtle move don't make it move. I had them on an older program for mining before I made the API, and they worked fine then. I think the problem might have occurred due to how I combined automatically digging the block in front of it and waiting if it can't move forward because of an entity being in the way. I looked at it, but I still have no idea why it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!

You say you used it for an older program. Would this have been for the turtles were updated to require fuel? Turtles require fuel now to move. Other than that, I don't immediately see any problems with your API.

Should line 25 be "math.random()" instead of "math.random"? This isn't really relevant to your problem though and I cannot see why your movement functions don't work.

I set turtlesNeedFuelToMove=false, so it isn't a problem

you always check if bedrock variable is false but you never set it to false it is set to nil initally.
if you change that part :

local enter = nil
local bedrockF = nil
local bedrockU = nil
local bedrockD = nil
local bedrockL = nil
local bedrockR = nil
local bedrockB = nil
local bedrock = nil

to this:

local enter = false
local bedrockF = false
local bedrockU = false
local bedrockD = false
local bedrockL = false
local bedrockR = false
local bedrockB = false
local bedrock = false

it should work

I'll try this now!

Thanks for helping me out!
