Title: Ignoring Conditional
I was making a quarry program and after it does one layer i want it to go down and i have a conditional to check for that, but it seems to be ignoring it, i don't know why it is doing that, maybe one of you guys can figure that out for me. thanks in advance

I suppose the conditional that doesn't work is this one:

if p == i then

The variable i is nil at this point of the program, it only has a value inside the for-loop.
After that, it has the value it has before the loop, which is nil.

ok i see but when i change it to this http://pastebin.com/UrFVzrG4
the turtle isnt crashing but it is not going down but instead is continuing the quarry but sideways.
btw p == i didnt work because the moment it starts it will be true because 1 == 1.

Just a guess, but try doing this on line 15

if (p + i) == (tArgs[1] + tArgs[2] - 1) then

hopefully the issue was that it wasn't doing the math on each side at the same time or something.
