there is none… it just does nothing… like when i enter the code no error message pops up but the turtle just does nothing

You defined 3 functions but you never call them, ofcourse it won't do anything :P/>

right, now how do i call them? lol sorry im extremely new to lua, like its the first language that i learned other than html/css…

Im guessing the actual program is the flint function, personally i would just remove the function definition of that altogether. Anyways, you're already calling functions in your function definitions, like turtle.dig or turtle.place. Your own functions are no different.

flint() --calls the function flint

so do i just say in the program after all the code "flint() end"?

No end, like i said this isn't any different from calling turtle.place or turtle.dig.

function my_function_name()
"do a lot of complicated stuff"
end

Functions make a somwhat shortcut to generalise something. However, it DOES NOT execute it. this can be usefull if you want to do something a lot in your code, and don't want to have to write it all down again.

to use your beautiful function you would just write it down, like:

my_function_name()

do you see the simularity's with:

turtle.dig()

which you probably know? I hope this helped.
