Hi all,

Im trying to find out if its possible to set a turtle into a 'block placing mode' per say and then giving it a material to place on a certain level and when it bumps gets to an obstacle goes in another direction? If so what would be the means to do it?
If anyone can hint me in the right direction i'd most appreciate it:D
Thanks

Ok well i got most of the code done, but heres my question, how do i make it so that if the turtle detects a block in front of it it will turn right?

if turtle.detect() then
  turtle.turnRight()
end

Hmm i got that right now thanks, what im trying to do is make a turtle place blocks in a square and the when it detects it has made a full square it moves a lane inwards to complete a full square platform. My problem is making it go within the inner lane once its completed a set

Uh... What?

LOL ok lemme rather ask this, is there a way to make a turtle count how many blocks it goes?

You can count it using a variable:

local count = 0

local function forward()
  if turtle.forward() then
    count = count + 1
  end
end
