i made (took and changed) some code, it makes a 3x3 tunnel.

i want to have it return to the begining, but it doesnt return, it just stays is spot (does turn, but turns back)

also i want to add a torch placeing thingy but not sure how/what the code is

also im a noob at this (i just started today) if something seems obvious for you, its not for me

my code:


local tArgs = { ... }
if #tArgs ~= 1 then
	print( "Usage: tunnel <length>" )
	return
end
local length = tonumber( tArgs[1] )
if length < 1 then

	print( "Tunnel length must be positive" )
	return
end	
local depth = 0
local collected = 0
local function collect()
	collected = collected + 1
	if math.fmod(collected, 25) == 0 then
		print( "Mined "..collected.." blocks." )
	end
end
local function tryDig()
	while turtle.dig() do
		collect()
		sleep(0.5)
		if not turtle.detect() then
			return true
		end
	end
	return not turtle.detect()
end
local function tryDigUp()
	while turtle.digUp() do
		collect()
		sleep(0.5)
		if not turtle.detectUp() then
			return true
		end
	end
	return not turtle.detectUp()
end
print( "Tunnelling..." )
for n=1,length do
	tryDigUp()
	turtle.turnLeft()
	tryDig()
	turtle.up()
	tryDig()
	tryDigUp()
	turtle.up()
	tryDig()
	turtle.turnRight()
	turtle.turnRight()
	tryDig()
	turtle.down()
	tryDig()
	turtle.down()
	tryDig()
	turtle.turnLeft()
	if n<length then
		tryDig()
		if not turtle.forward() then
			print( "Aborting Tunnel." )
			break
		end
	else
		print( "Tunnel complete." )
	end
end
print( "Returning to start..." )
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()
while depth > 0 do
	if turtle.forward() then
		depth = depth - 1
	else
		turtle.dig()
	end
end
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.turnRight()
print( "Tunnel complete." )
print( "Mined "..collected.." blocks total." )
