Computercraft Troubleshooting

[recneps]

So, I am playing on a modpack using computercraft. I am using wireless rednet to make a remote control turtle, using an Advanced Computer and an Advanced Wireless Turtle. So far, I have a program named "Turtle" on both, that should allow you to use keys WASD to make the turtle go forwards and backwards, as well as turning left and right. I can not get it to work, can somebody help me? Here are the programs and error messages used and returned by the turtle and computer.

So, I have an error in lines 4 and 2, and I can not figure out what the errors are. Can someone figure it out for me? Thank you.

Added Pastebin instead of raw typing.

Mother of god... use a pastebin service.

Oh, right, thank you. I had forgotten such things existed.

Thanks for removing the code from the post. However, it's much nicer if you actually provide a link we can click on instead of having to copy the raw text from a code block, create a new tab, and paste the URL into that.

• Why do you have so many blank lines in your code. It makes it very hard to read.
• Pretty sure you want to be using == instead of = in your conditionals. You are putting assignment operators in your conditional statements.
• Please create pastebins of the actual code inside the Lua source files, not some amalgam of multiple programs and some extra text and error messages. I can't diagnose things when it's all mashed together.
• You should have feedback from the turtle so that the controlling computer knows whether the commands are working properly.
• Here's a link with a couple loop and turtle examples that might help you: http://www.circlecraft.info/cc/

Thank you, sorry I can not edit my pastebin to make it easier, I got my turtle-side code fixed, but I can not get the error on the computer-side code fixed, it still wants a name. Okay, I figured out how to use the pastebin from the ComputerCraft OS, and made a new one of the computer-side code, which can be found here.

Added the final sentence.

• Which version of ComputerCraft?
• What specific error are you getting?
• If you are going to do anything other than the most basic of programs, you will want to be using a code-based editor like Notepad++. You can use that to edit the Lua files directly instead of in-game. They are located in the saves/world/computer/<id> (where <id> is the ID of the computer you are using in-game).

I didn't know you could directly access the Lua files! Thank you for helping with this, I got the problems solved, except for one. I had a bit of rollback on my world, and now am getting an error(bios:367: [string "Turtle"]:13: 'then' expected on this code.

You still had an assignment (=) instead of a comparator (==) in the last conditional.

Here's a very simple implementation of what I think you are trying to do: http://pastebin.com/qJ9SYuFY
