[Lua] Control Panel Monitor?

I am trying to make a control panel monitor so that way instead of buttons for a shop, the large monitor will be touchscreen.


I wanted to know what the code is for detecting a touchscreen at certain points.

and is there a payment system that is currently working right now for computercraft?

local event, p1, p2, p3 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "monitor_touch" then
  print("Side: " .. p1 .. " x: " .. p2 .. " y: " .. p3)
end

edit: you might want to put it in a loop

I kinda need it to detect a specific area.
Sorry for not telling this ahead of time.

if p1 == side and p2 <= maxX and p2 >= minX and p3 <= maxY and p3 >= minY then
–code to process a click
end

I am pretty sure if you do an if statement to detect the event AS well as the x and y pos; so p2 and p3.. Not sure if the x and y are full screens though.

Example:
local event, p1, p2, p3 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "monitor_touch" and p2 == <Xpos> and p3 == <Ypos> then
<Your outcome>
end

Well that is not turing up well.
I made it so that if you pressed a or b on the screen they would print different messages………but I can press any place on the monitr and only get the message for the first one.

You can post the code if you need help with it.

Hmm… Could you post the code you're using?

Never mind; looks like ChunLing said that just as I was preparing this post.

I have the code to a point that it won't even post the message
here is the code

monitor = peripheral.wrap("right")
mside = "right"
local event, side, x, y = os.pullEvent()
local function writeGUI()
monitor.setCursorPos(1,1)
monitor.write("/ A /   / B /")
monitor.setCursorPos(1,3)
monitor.write("Please press one")
end
local function clearScreen()
monitor.clear()
writeGUI()
end
clearScreen()
while true do

  clearScreen()
if os.pullEvent() then
  if event == "monitor_touch" then
    if (x == 1 or x == 2 or x == 3 or x == 4 or x == 5 ) and y == 1 then
	  monitor.setCursorPos(1,4)
	  monitor.write("Stupid Shit")
	  sleep(1)
    elseif (x == 13 or x == 10 or x == 11 or x == 12 or x == 9) and y == 1 then
	  monitor.setCursorPos(1,4)
	  monitor.write("Shit Stupid")
	  sleep(1)
    end
  else
    monitor.setCursorPos(18, 3)
    monitor.write("Program functioning.")
    os.startTimer(2)
  end
end
end

I remade the code, but now I have to press the area twice before the message appears.
here is the code.

local function writeGUI()
  monitor.setCursorPos(1,1)
  monitor.write("/a/ /b/")
  monitor.setCursorPos(1,2)
  monitor.write("Select one")
end
local function clearScreen()
  monitor.clear()
  writeGUI()
end
monitor = peripheral.wrap(mside)
mside = "right"

while true do
  clearScreen()
  local event, side, x, y = os.pullEvent("monitor_touch")
  os.pullEvent()
  if event == "monitor_touch" then
   if x == 1 or x == 2 or x == 3 then
	 if y == 1 then
	  monitor.setCursorPos(1,3)
	  monitor.write("Herbalife")
	  sleep(1)
	 end
   elseif x == 5 or x == 6 or x == 7 then
    if y == 1 then
	  monitor.setCursorPos(1,3)
	  monitor.write("But stud.")
	  sleep(1)
	 end
   end
end
end

nevermind I removed the os.pullEvent() part and now the program works like it should.
Problem solved.
ON TO MAKING A SHOP WITH THIS!
