Automatic Diamond crafting with turtles

Hey guys, i am attempting ot make a program that uses EE3's mimium stone to craft dimonds from cobblestone.

however i am having trouble with the first step XD

i need to put cobble from a chest behind it into slots 2 and 5 and then craft it and dump the flint into the chest infront of it. heres what i have so far:

-- Creates Flint from cobblestone


print("flint will be deposited into the chest infront")
print(" ")
print("working...")

turtle.turnRight()
turtle.turnRight()

l = 1


while l <= 1 do

  turtle.select(1)
  turtle.suck()
  turtle.select(2)
  turtle.suck()
  turtle.craft()
end

print("one")

elseif while l = >=1 do
  print("boobs")
  end

end

this should just make flint and then loop, however it said eof error when i try to run it :(/>

can you guys help me out?? Thanks!

Split into new topic.

You do not have an if to start the if statement for the elseif you have near the end of the code.

Proper if statement:

if something then --must have 1 if at the start
  do something
elseif something then -- can have as many as you need
  do something else
else -- can only have 1 and must be at the end of the block
  nothing worked so do this.
end -- need 1 end at the end of the block

You will also need to move the while loop, you can not combine it with an if statement to me knowledge. So…

if l > 1 then
  while l >= 1 do
	 print ("boobs") -- will infinitely print boobs since u never change l
  end
end

You also do not need the last end in the end. there is nothing for it to end.

cheers for that. helped me alot. i am now stuck on another issue. it will not do anything but grab(2) in the while loop.

heres my new code:

-- Creates Flint from cobblestone


print("flint will be deposited into the chest infront")
print(" ")
print("working...")

s=0

function grab(i)
  while s <= 63 do
  turtle.select(12)
  turtle.suck()
  t=turtle.getItemCount(12)
  turtle.drop(t-1)
  turtle.transferTo(i)
  s=s+1 
  end
end

function turn()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.turnRight()
end

print("alive1")

function craft()
  while s >= 1 do
  turtle.select(4)
  turtle.craft()
  s=s-1
  end
end

print("alive2")

l=10

print("alive3")
while l <= 10 do
  turtle.select(10)
  turn()
  grab(2)
  print("alivein1")
  grab(10)
  print("alivein2")
  grab(6)
  print("alivein3")
  grab(9)
  print("alivein4")
  turtle.select(12)
  turtle.drop()
  print("alivein5")
  craft()
  turn()
  turtle.drop()
  turtle.select(12)
  print("alive4")

end

it prints all the alives however.

At the end of grab, put s=0

s is never being reset. Once it's 64, it stays 64.
