1.) program - branch ( bios: 366: [string "branch"] :9: '='
expected

function digIt()
while turtle.detect() do
turtle.dig()
os.sleep(0.5)
end

turtle.forward()
while turtle.detectDown() or turtle.detectUp() do
turtle.digUp
turtle.digDown
end
end —————note this isnt the full prog just where the
error is located

2.) program - 3tunnel branch (bios :366: [strin "3tunnel"] :9: 'do' expected

function digIt()
while turtle.detect() do
turtle.dig()
os.sleep(0.5)
end

turtle.forward()
while turtle.detectDown() or turtle.detectUp() do
turtle.digUp()
turtle.digDown()
end
end ——————-again not this isnt the full
just where the error is location

Any help would be much appreciated - PublicSaix.

You missed a few () when calling the functions turtle.digUp and turtle.digDown. Putting those there should fix your problem.

The solution


function digIt()
  while turtle.detect() do
	turtle.dig()
	os.sleep(0.5)
  end

  turtle.forward()
  while turtle.detectDown() or turtle.detectUp() do
	turtle.digUp() --here
	turtle.digDown() --and here
  end
end ---------------note this isnt the full prog just where the
error is located

everything works now except whenever i start it says branch length (of course) then i type in lets say 15
it will mine the block in front and then say "branch:7: attempt to call nil" —- now im no expert in lua so im not sure what most of the errors mean.
