Title: Mining Turtle help

I am trying to make a "Simple" turtle code but i can't seem to make it place a torch every 6 - 7 blocks. This is the entire code
http://pastebin.com/Ffsz4HCh
If there is any other helpful I am listening.
Also the function "Torch()" is what the placing thing is under.
if you notice it has

• 
  while y < 7 do
  
• 
  y = y + 1
  
• 
  end
  
• 
  while y = 1 do
  
• 
  turtle.place()

I put the ones there on purpose, originally the "while y = 1 do" line was "while y > 7" i only changed it to see if that would make it work (it did.. sorta)

Remove the declarations for X and Y.

At the top of the file, add: local x = 1

Replace the torch function with:

function Torch()
  if x % 7 == 0 then
    turtle.place()
  end
end

The basic idea is that you are already increasing the value of X, so we simply use that and check if it's a multiple of seven. The x % 7 part divides x by seven and uses the remainder to compare against 0. If x is a multiple of seven, the remainder will be zero, and it will place an item from the currently selected slot. You'll probably need to make other minor adjustments, but this should get you on the right track.

Thank you for the quick reply! yeah that fixed it! i didn't know you could set it up to check if the x was a multiple of 7.
Anyway, it worked, and thank you.
