oops, sorry. I realized that it was an if statement and not a loop. forgive me, but that won't work for if statements.

Uhh.. are you sure you can use break in an if statement? Did you want to get out of the if statement, or exit the program? If it's the first thing I said.. you could do this:are you just meaning to break the loop?
If so give break a try. like this maybe. (not 100% sure, but it's worth a shot)i = 1 if i == 1 then break --this is where I would want it to terminate it else print("NO!") end
if somevar = true then
if permission == true then
-- Stuff
else
-- This happens if you want to exit out of the if statement (Optional)
end

I see that now, I got ninja'd while I making my reply.Uhh.. are you sure you can use break in an if statement? Did you want to get out of the if statement, or exit the program? If it's the first thing I said.. you could do this:
No, you can't it was a mistake. I just woke up (good excuse? :P/>) I still don't have a vast knowledge of LUA, but I corrected myself.

fuel = turtle.getFuelLevel()
function checkfuel()
if fuel < 100 then
--terminate
else
return

Yeah, the quick and dirty way of doing that would be error().Either I don't understand what you are saying or I didn't explain it well enough. What I would try to use this for is in a refuel function like this:Now that I'm thinking about it, it is probably pretty dumb to terminate the program instead of waiting for fuel, but now I'm curious.fuel = turtle.getFuelLevel() function checkfuel() if fuel < 100 then --terminate else return end end mining stuff checkfuel()
fuel = turtle.getFuelLevel()
function checkfuel()
if fuel < 100 then
error("Fuel Ran Out!") --terminate
else
return
end
end
mining stuff
checkfuel()

Why do you say it's dirty? It's the best way, especially if your lots of function calls deep, else you would have to return something the whole way back through the stack, and have an if statement on each function call, all just to get to the top level function to return again… Much easier to code it if you use error()Yeah, the quick and dirty way of doing that would be error().

Never! Ever! Especially shell.exit() …I may be wrong but I beleive you can use shell.exit(), or os.reboot()

As am I…Can I ask why? I have never used them…but I'm really curious why those warrant a response like that.

It's ok was also answering it for grand_mindSorry for the really noobish reply. When I asked, I didn't know what the shell was, but I have since looked it up and do understand the reasoning behind your statement.

Maybe that's what who ever was talking about…There is a cooldown on shutdown/reboots, so there can be performance issues from using either if a computer is doing something important.

Which in itself really is a reason not too do it…Well, the reason they imposed a cooldown is because rebooting is pretty expensive, relatively speaking. So programs that used rebooting as a "easy" way to loop themselves were being laggy and evil to the rest of the world's computers.
