I can't tell if there is a bug with ComputerCraft or a bug in my code.

Ok, so all I can say is that either ComputerCraft is being stupid or I am being stupid. I lean to the latter than than the former.
Context: The point of the code is to have the turtle mine a quarry, go refuel when needed, and dump out all of its items when full. I haven't gotten to that last one yet, or the code for making the turtle refuel at a certain time. Right now I'm just making the method or the function as Lua likes to call it. Also moveToLocation() is someone else's code. I just borrowed it to make it a bit easier on myself for making turtles go the correct spots.

Here is the class or whatever it's called in lua.

The main methods that need to be focused on are moveToLocation() and goRefuel(). Everything else I know works just fine.

    else
        turtle.forward()
        timesMoved = timesMoved + 1
    end
end

        do goMine()

function goRefuel()
    local quarryPosition = 0
    quarryPosition = vector.new(-264,73,-336)
    moveToLocation(suckZone)
    turtle.suckDown()
    turtle.back()
    moveToLocation(quarryPosition)
end

function goHome()
    moveToLocation(homePos)
end

goRefuel()

Basically, goRefuel() doesn't want to work correctly. If it is very obvious, please just tell me (I suck at Lua).

Here is a list of what I have done in the goRefuel() method:
- Changed the quarryPosition parameter in the second call of moveToLocation() to be a vector.new with actual coordinates. (worked)

- Set completely different coordinates altogether for both calls. (didn't work) But then I left the world and rejoined (single player btw) and it did work.

Do you see my predicament here? I don't understand what is going on and I don't know where to begin. This is why I am asking for someone that knows Lua and this mod better than me to tell me that I am either sane or insane. I don't know what the heck is happening.

Sorry for bad formatting. I just don't know what to share about this. So my main question is, where is the bug at, mod, game, or code?

Oh completely forgot to mention this. I am using Minecraft 1.16.5, with the latest ComputerCraft: Tweaked version.

[SOLVED]

I moved all of the code to a different class and referenced it as an API code works perfectly now for me. Still don't know where the bug lied though.
