 tags in the future? It makes code a LOT easier to read, and ignore :)/>

That is unless your program running on computer 2 has a GUI then it won't work no matter what(as far as i am aware).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this mod he uses runs on peripherals. So what you are saying is a quick summary of what he has ahead of him :P/>

I have another program that might work this is what it is

Spoiler

print("preparing launch")
print("set the target")
icbm = peripheral.wrap("right")
input = io.read()
icbm.setTarget(x,height,z)
icbm.canLaunch()
print("final launch checks…")
local side = "front"
local otherside = "right"
local op = "no"
while true do
print("are you sure you want to fire?")
input = io.read()
if input == op then
print("whoops, don't want to nuke them")
return
else
rs.setOutput(side,true)
textutils.slowPrint("…..")
print("firing")
rs.setOutput(otherside,true)
sleep(1)
rs.setOutput(otherside,false)
rs.setOutput(side,false)
end
end

 and 

print("hi")

print("hi")
