Turtle Activated with Redstone HELP!!!

[Bill Winterfield]

I have created a turtle program that creates a wither and now i need it to be activated by a Redstone signal so how can i have it constantly check for a Redstone signal here is the program Http://Pastebin.Com/VYy1S9mB

Your program checks only once if a redstone signal is applied and if it is, runs until the redstone signal is turned off. As soon as there is no redstone signal your while loop ends and your program is complete.

Do this instead:

while true do
    if redstone.getInput("right") == true do
          <procedure code here>
    end
end

This will constantly repeat the loop and each time it checks if the redstone input is still on. If not it will continue looping and keep checking.

Maybe put in a sleep(.5) to be nice.

Instead of a sleep, I would suggest an os.pullEvent. That way you don't have to busy wait.

while true do
    os.pullEvent("redstone")
    if redstone.getInput("right") == true do
          <procedure code here>
    end
end
