For some odd reason I keep getting an attemp to call boolien on line 73 and I can't figure out why it's happening. The print stuff is temporary and for getting bugs out of my code.

On line 66 you overwrite you function with false.

Thanks. It works now but it seems no matter where I put x = false to reset it I get that error. Even at the bottom in the while loop line.

Is there a way I can reset it back to false?

Here is your code which I posted for others to review. I could not spot the problem.

x = false

function border()
print("checking")
  turtle.select(16)
  if turtle.compare() == true then
		turtle.turnLeft()
	if turtle.forward() == false then
	  turtle.back()
	  turtle.turnLeft()
	end
  end
end

function glow()
  print("glow")
  turtle.select(15)
  if turtle.compare() == true then
	glow = true
  else
	glow = false
  end
end

function dump()
  turtle.select(14)
  turtle.placeDown()
  s = 1
  for i=1,13 do
	turtle.select(s)
	turtle.dropDown(64)
	s = s + 1
	sleep(0.2)
  end
  turtle.select(14)
  turtle.digDown()
end

function forward()
print("forward")
  while not turtle.forward() do
	border()
	turtle.select(1)
	turtle.dig()
	turtle.attack()
	sleep(0.5)
  end
end  

function turn()
  if x == false then
	turtle.turnLeft()
	forward()
	turtle.turnLeft()
	x = true
  else
	turtle.turnRight()
	forward()
	turtle.turnRight()
	x = false
  end
end

function dig()
  if glow == true then
	turn = false
	print("digging")
	forward()
	for i = 1,3 do
	  forward()
	  forward()
	  print(x)
	  turn()
	end
	forward()
	dump()
  else
	sleep(120)
  end
end

while true do

border()
glow()
dig()

end

You could declare x as a local x at the beginning.

Post your new code. I don't see anything wrong in the old code if you only changed that one thing.

Also, I just noticed in one of your loops you use this

s = 1
  for i=1,13 do
	turtle.select(s)
	turtle.dropDown(64)
	s = s + 1
	sleep(0.2)
  end

You can just use i from the for loop:

  for i=1,13 do
	turtle.select(i)
	turtle.dropDown(64)
	sleep(0.2)
  end

When you do this:

function someVar()
  print("This is a function")
end

... you're defining a function, which is assigned to the "someVar" variable. "someVar()" calls the function in "someVar".

Say you later do this:

someVar = true

Now "someVar" no longer leads to a function, but instead has a boolean (true/false) value stored against it. "someVar()" would attempt to call a function in "someVar", but since it now contains a boolean instead, you can guess what error comes up.

This means that eg calling your "glow" function results in it replacing itself with a boolean, and calling your "dig" function may result in your "turn" function being affected the same way.

Heres a major problem:
function glow()
print("glow")
turtle.select(15)
if turtle.compare() == true then
glow = true
else
glow = false
end
end

You create a function glow(). Then you overwrite glow() with true or false so instead of glow being a function it is a boolean. There is your issue.

Swap glow = true for return true.

I think you need to look at the lua API documentation on how functions work.
