Thank you! I have expanded on the code and I'm trying to use the TouchPoint API (By Lyqyd) but I'm not understanding how to format the while true do… for when the button is clicked to activate the function. He has a sample of how to use it but I'm lost on the while true do part. I understand its what makes it so when you click it does something but how would I do that for my first button, Lights, to toggle the lights?
TouchPoint API Troubles:
Spoiler
--# load the touchpoint API
os.loadAPI("touchpoint")
--# intialize a new button set on the top monitor
local t = touchpoint.new("top")
--# add two buttons
t:add("left", nil, 2, 2, 14, 11, colors.red, colors.lime)
t:add("right", nil, 16, 2, 28, 11, colors.red, colors.lime)
--# draw the buttons
t:draw()
while true do
--# handleEvents will convert monitor_touch events to button_click if it was on a button
local event, p1 = t:handleEvents(os.pullEvent())
if event == "button_click" then
--# p1 will be "left" or "right", since those are the button labels
--# toggle the button that was clicked.
t:toggleButton(p1)
--# and toggle the redstone output on that side.
rs.setOutput(p1, not rs.getOutput(p1))
end
end
My Code (Bottom) :

--AutoSpawner
--Random Stuff
os.loadAPI("touchpoint")
local t = touchpoint.new("RIGHT")
function set(var, val)
if type(val) == "string" then
_G[var] = val
end
end
--Variables
chest = peripheral.wrap("container_chest_0")
spawner = peripheral.wrap("auto_spawner_2")
monitor = peripheral.wrap("right")
local light, grinder = "0", "1"
--Buttons
t:add("Lights", function() toggleLights() end, 3, 3, 16, 5, colors.red, colors.lime)
--t:draw()
--Scan Mobs
local mobcheck -- available
for i = 1, 12 do
data = chest.getStackInSlot(i)
-- if data then print(data.captured) --Disabled for Testing
-- end
end
local selectedmob -- current to spawn
for i = 1, 1 do
mob = spawner.getStackInSlot(i)
-- if mob then print("Currently Selected: ",mob.captured,"s") --Disabled for Testing
-- end
end
--Redstone Toggle Functions
local function RedstoneOn(sSide, ...) -- on
local c = colors.combine(rs.getBundledOutput(sSide), ...)
rs.setBundledOutput(sSide, c)
end
local function RedstoneOff(sSide, ...) -- off
local c= colors.combine(rs.getbundledOutput(sSide), ...)
rs.setBundledOutput(sSide, c)
end
--Redstone Toggle Uses
local function LightsOn()
RedstoneOn("back", colors.yellow)
end
local function LightsOff()
RedstoneOff("back", colors.yellow)
end
local function AutoSpawnerOn()
RedstoneOn("back", colors.orange)
end
local function AutoSpawnerOff()
RedstoneOff("back", colors.orange)
end
local function toggleLights()
if lght == 0 then
LightsOn()
set("light", "1")
t:toggleButton("Lights")
elseif lght == 1 then
LightsOff()
set("light", "0")
t:toggleButton("Lights")
end
end
--Touchscreen
while true do
local event, p1 = t:handleEvents(os.pullEvent())
if event == "button_click" then --Lost past here
end
