hi im making a Tardis

with enhanced Portal 3 in the resonart rise 3 modpack
and i know enhanced portal 3 got CC support with the dialing device block

what i want is something abit like this program:


http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/21275-enhanced-portals-3-touch-screen-dialling-device/page__hl__portal__fromsearch__1

but needing to work with this setup here:

so it needs to work with modems(i dont care if it is wired or wireless but prefer Wireless or maybe if possible: both )

and also needing bigger touch screen buttons than the program i linked
and also a Prev./Next page button on the screen if there is many locations/portals so not all can fit into it
and the buttons needs to have the same name as inside the portal´s dialing device block so if i have named 1 like: Home and a other like factory
the buttons needs to have home/Factory writing inside them

Do you have any code to show? In general, we don't write programs for people, as we'd rather teach them how to write a program from scratch.

i only have coding from this link here:

but i also want to learn how to make my setup to work:
Using
Computercraft: v 1.73
enhanced portal 3: v 3.0.10

If you don't know how to code at ALL, this will be a very difficult first project.
It should't be too bad if you've programmed before though

First of all, from the images, it looks like you have this setup:

Portal <> Computer <> Modem <> Cable <> Modem <> Computer <> Monitor

You can remove the second computer (The one connected to the monitor)
That's because the first computer will control the monitor through the modems, it doesn't need a computer at the other end


Now, to get started with Lua, you'll want to make a few simple programs first
Take a look at the Tutorials Section for…tutorials. (You'll need to look through them a bit to find relevant ones)
