greetings everyone, I just want to share a program I made. It's my very first attempt at scripting in LUA, ever.
called "Flatit", it can be used to flat a vast area, as long as the tutle have sufficient blocks in the inventory. It can flat both ways, so it will still flat an area even if there's a depression or a hill.
Just place the Turtle in the desired elevation and run the program. one limitation is that it thinks that a wild grass is a block, so if a wild grass happens to be at the correct flat elevation as the starting point, it ignores it. so you have to do grass check manually after the turtle finished its job
here's the code:
I know, the code might be very messy, inefficient and all, but its my first attempt in scripting in LUA. so please dont be too harsh on me :)/>/>
RXDV Laboratories is my fictional company where i create all my program in. Just to add a little roleplay value :)/>/>
might as well create full suite of turtle programs.i am just sooo interested in turtles!
comments and suggestions please
