I don't think you need brackets.


while false do
if turtle.detect then
turtle.forward()
turtle.drop(1)
turtle.forward()
turtle.drop(1)
turtle.forward
turtle.drop(1)
turtle.turnleft
end
end

I don't understand turtles very much, I have no clue why the error would be saying that. All I know is, you fixed your first problem. Better edit your post to explain this problem.

EDIT: WAIT! Found it. Here:


while false do
if turtle.detect then
turtle.forward()
turtle.drop(1)
turtle.forward()
turtle.drop(1)
turtle.forward()
turtle.drop(1)
turtle.turnleft()
end
end

I don't think that's the error, but I found 2 more errors, just edited my last post.

The L in turtle.turnLeft needs to be capitalized.
