right now i have this:

local function compare()
turtle.select(2)
a = turtle.compare()
turtle.select(3)
b = turtle.compare()
turtle.select(4)
c = turtle.compare()
turtle.select(5)
d = turtle.compare()
turtle.select(6)
e = turtle.compare()
end

local function block()
compare()
while a or b or c or d or e do
turtle.dig()
compare()
end
end

local function row()
for i=1,2 do
block()
turtle.up()
end
block()
turtle.down()
turtle.down()
end

local function section()
for i=1,2 do
row()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnLeft()
end
row()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
end

for i=1,5 do
section()
turtle.forward()
end

and what i want to do is to add a return function by counting how many sections it made and to make it do it if it encounters any ore, or even better do go around the ore and keep going, not sure if it is possible

Put it in pastebin and indent it so we can see it better.

It's certainly possible. There are a variety of programs on the Turtle Programs forum that are designed to do this kind of thing. You should look them over.

is this what you mean by pastebin and indent? http://pastebin.com/NpFdK1tJ sorry i'm a newbie at this

<script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=NpFdK1tJ"></script>

i changed a few things because of gravel issues, just made the turtle go from up to down instead.

i already been looking at the forums but most programs are to collect ores, and i want the exact opposite. Besides they seem to use gps and i dont know how that works. the code i did was basically made from trial and error after watching LP from FTB packs and trying to figure it out.

You dont really need to put it on pastebin(which is a site that people share their scripts on) its best to just put code tags [*code][*/code] without the * (spoiler tags as well for larger scripts) around the code.

Indentation is like this…



local function row()
for i=1,2 do
  block()
  turtle.up()
end
block()
turtle.down()
turtle.down()
end

There's very little room for indentation in your scripts. It is mainly used for if statements, loops etc to make it easier to tell where they start and where they end.

use code tags, [CODE] your code goes here [/CODE], or just click the little <> icon to bring up the code entry window and paste your code into it.
