The exact error code is: startup:1: attempt to call nil
The Computercraft version is 1.63
Just checked, it's typed correctly.

Just tried

while true do
if turtle.getItemCount(1) >= 2 then
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.drop(2)
turtle.turnLeft()
else
turtle.attack()
sleep(0.5)
end
end

and now it says: startup:2: attempt to call nil

EDIT: Okay, not quite sure what happened but just broke the turtle and placed it back down and it works now?
Thanks for the quick responses anyways

So I have a melee turtle set up in this mob farm. Anyways I've been trying for the past 20 minutes trying to figure out why this isn't working...

My code right now is set up so it puts the drops into a chest, and that's the part that isn't working...

local count = turtle.getItemCount(1)
while true do
if count >= 2 then
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.drop(2)
turtle.turnLeft()
else
turtle.attack()
sleep(0.5)
end
end

It's attempting to call nil in line 1... It was working earlier then I changed some stuff and don't remember what I had previously.

Thank you so much! Didn't know about the string thing, it works now.

So I'm pretty new to Computer Craft and I'm trying to set up a system to open and close doors with the wireless pocket computer. I have a computer that receives the signal and will open/close the doors. On the pocket Computer I have

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Receiver ID: ")
local receiver = read()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Message: ")
local message = read()
rednet.send(receiver,message)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Message Sent")
sleep(1.5)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)

So it works fine until I get to the point where I send the message part of the code. Once I hit enter on the message part it says rednet:87: Expected number

I don't know how to fix this. Any help would be nice! Thanks.
