Hello

I have downloaded the code of a sorting machine, but somehow I do get an error: Attempt to call nil

This is the code:


function sortStuff()
turtle.suck()
if turtle.compareTo(2) == true then shell.run("coal")
elseif turtle.compareTo(3) == true then shell.run("Spiston")
elseif turtle.compareTo(7) == true then shell.run("piston")
elseif turtle.compareTo(16) == true then shell.run("flint")
elseif turtle.compareTo(12) == true then shell.run("redstonetorch")
elseif turtle.compareTo(4) == true then shell.run("redstone")
elseif turtle.compareTo(10) == true then shell.run("stone")
elseif turtle.compareTo(11) == true then shell.run("cobblestone")
elseif turtle.compareTo(8) == true then shell.run("redstonerepeater")
elseif turtle.compareTo(9) == true then shell.run("dirt")
elseif turtle.compareTo(5) == true then shell.run("goldore")
elseif turtle.compareTo(6) == true then shell.run("ironore")
elseif turtle.compareTo(13) == true then shell.run("sandstone")
elseif turtle.compareTo(14) == true then shell.run("sand")
elseif turtle.compareTo(15) == true then shell.run("stonebricks")
else shell.run("other")
end
end
shell.run("clear")
print "Robotic Sorting Machine- enter SORT to run organization program."
input=read()
if input == "SORT" then shell.run("clear")
print "Working...because you're too lazy to do this yourself..."
end
for x=1,27 do sortStuff()
end

The link with the ZIP (The startup + movements files):

Hope somebody can help me out.

Turtle.suck, and several other functions there are not available for the currently supported Tekkit version. Tekkit only runs 1.33. Check this page out to see what functions are supported for turtles.
