I believe that here:

for j=1,length,1 do
        digForward()
        for i=1,3,1 do

is your problem. But i would have to try editing it first and testing it on my own, but with my knowledge that area may be your problem

Well. It shouldn't be running because of line 44:

if digForward() then x = x + 1

You need an "end" after an if block.

thank you for your help, ill try altering it a bit myself too and testing it, but as i said in my post im really new to programming in lua so i dont know much…

i have anothe question for anybody that feels like answering, how would i make it so that if the torch count/chest count are 0 it stops the program?

do

if turtle.getItemCount(<slot number here>) == 0 then
return
end

If i remember correctly…
EDIT: my bad… used wrong peripheral syntax…. fixed now
