[Lua][Error] bios:338: [string "branch"]:9: <name> or '...' expected

Good morning ladies/gents,

I've only just got into Computer Craft, and as such I have been taking other peoples code and trying to use that, then adapt it. Only problem is I can't get it to run in the first place. I have this code on my turtle and I believe it's purpose is to simply dig a straight tunnel and place torches every so often. I keep getting the error in the title though.

Help? Thanks in advance

EDIT: The more detailed the reply in what I'm doing wrong, the better please, I'd like to not have to come here for bug checking, no offence intended

Your tfuel function has a '1' in the (). I'm guessing you want that as an argument for it to select that slot after refueling, if so:

function tfuel(nSlot)
 if turtle.getFuelLevel() < 5 then
  turtle select(16)
  turtle.refuel(1)
  turtle.select(nSlot)
 end
end

Or is it the amount it must refuel?

function tfuel(nAmount)
 if turtle.getFuelLevel() < 5 then
  turtle select(16)
  turtle.refuel(nAmount)
  turtle.select(1)
 end
end

Or just remove the 1 from the parenthesis. It should work fine.

Depends how he wants his function to function :P/> I took it as he wants to select the slot with the arguments

That fixed it, thanks a lot :D/>
