Just delete it, or should I replace it with something?

local iterator = counter()

counter()

i=i+1

local functon counter()
   i = i+1
end

local iterator = counter

iterator()

oh yeah, no ='s in declarations. do:

local functon counter()
   i = i+1
end

local iterator = counter

I'm unexperienced in giving variables functions, but I think the () will actually call the function, so when you call iterator use

iterator()

If I'm understanding this correctly, you basically want something that will return i, and increase i by 1 every time it is referenced, right?
like i++ in java.
Or are you trying to do it the other way around, and increase it by one, then return the value? (++i in java)

are you sure that's excactly the point it hangs?

local function counter()
    i=i+1
end
local iterator = counter

have you changed all your iterator's to iterator()

local iterator = counter

local iterator = counter()

function counter()

i = i + 1
return (i - 1)

BrolofTheViking, on 14 October 2012 - 08:30 PM said:

do it like this

function counter()

i = i + 1
return (i - 1)

I didn't test it, but that should do it.
then you could just replace iterator with counter()
if you use iterator = counter(), it will just store the value of what counter returns, and will never call counter again.
you want to call counter each time, so replace iterator() with counter()

Why use an iterator for something so simple? Just write out 1-9.

modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator()))

modStr(turtle.getItemCount(1))

Lyqyd, on 14 October 2012 - 08:47 PM said:

You have nine of these in the printing output section:

modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator()))

Change the first one to:

modStr(turtle.getItemCount(1))

etc. This isn't your code, is it? Why not ask the original author for help?
