error - placedown()

So I am making a little program that will build a square wall for me, it's pretty close to done, but the main idea behind it; building, isn't working yet.

For some reason it gives me an error when I try to use placedown(), and I can;t think of what I could've done wrong.

local var=function() 
turtle.up()
while a > 0 do
[color=#ff0000]turle.placeDown()[/color]

turtle.forward()
a = a - 1
end

The error I get:

attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Can someone tell me what I did wrong? If it's caused by something outside the snippet i posted (which I highly doubt), here is the full code.


If you have any other tips on my code, let me know :unsure:/>/>

The function you're looking for is placeDown(), and you also spelled turtle wrong.

I must be retarded -__- I did have placeDown() actually (just not in the topic title) but I mispelled turtle…….


Thanks!
