So I have been exceedingly frustrated with the subpar branch mining programs so I took it upon myself to build one myself. I have created it, but I am having some issues with it, mostly an error whenever I try to use
Attempt to perform arithmetic __sub on nil and number
I am however absolutely certain that Orientation has a value, I tried changing its default from 0 to 1 even and have it print the value of orientation AND do math with it. Its not nil, but I have no clue whats wrong. please help, the code can be found here https://pastebin.com/jWkctcq6
But also, its code is here
Orientation = Orientation - 1

-- Global Variables
--[[
X, Y, Z all refer to the Turtles position in relation to where it started from.
This allows it to properly navigate back to its chest to dump, refuel, and Refill Torches.
It is important to keep in mind that the Coordinates are strictly relative.
X increases in the direction the Turtle is facing.
Y increases up from the Turtle.
Z increases to the right of the Turtle. (Which is also the default directio in which the turtle mines)
The Turtle starts at 0,0,0.
The Chest into which it dumps is placed at 0,-1,0
The Chest from which it refuels is at 0,1,0
The Chest from which it gets more Torches is 0,0,1

Orientation Describes which direction the Turtle is facing in relation to its starting direction. Them being from a limited number of values, 0-3.
