Turtle GO HOME Help!

VIEW LATEST POST FOR UPDATED ERROR



So i saw in a video this dude used a code that checked current X Y and Z coords, and just simply moved the turtle in the correct direction until the numbers for goHome(x, y, z) matched the turtle's coords.

he used

while curLoc.x ~= x do

When I do this it says i'm calling a nil value.

So how do I make a go home script? Please help!

Well you first have to set up a gps tower and all that. Then store the x y z coords of starting position and store co-ords of the turtle when finished. And then you can do it.

Let's see your full code and the full error message.

Thats the code, error below

turtle.refuel(6)
for i = 1, 3 do
for e 1, 3 do
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
end
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
for i = 1, 3 do
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
end
turtle.turnLeft()

turtle.forward()
turtle.turnLeft()

error (the program is called "quary")

this worksquary:55: attempt to call nil

You need to declare your functions before you try to call them, not after.

ohhh
thanks my b

One more problem;

Im not sure if this will give you a bug, but your function is refering to a function that is declared afterwards.

No thats not it, heres my updated code and updated error:

bump

ehh?

You should NOT bump your threads constantly.

You haven't declared what curLoc is? Not sure. Is this the full code?

thats the full code yes. I just copied what the dude on youtube did.

you need your curloc.* variables to be updated while the turtle is moving. The while loop won't work if it's comparing curloc.* , an undefined variable, against another set of undefined variables, x, y and z.

Make sure every time the turtle moves, it updates the curloc variables in all three directions, whether by using GPS or by making it add and subtract to each of the variables every time it moves. you also need to make sure that the turtle knows where "home" is, so it knows when to stop.
