Call this as pulseTotal = pulseCount("right") or whatever side it should be, pulseTotal would have the total pulses.

local function pulseCount(side)
local pulses = 0

Did not work, give me a error about needing another "end" in the coding and when i did it, it just blinked once and broke! The Program Did not run at all. If Anyone else wants to try in the actual game that would be helpfull

local function pulseCount(side)
    local pulses = 0
    local rsState = false
    local pulseTimeout = os.startTimer(5)
    while true do
        local e, p = os.pullEvent()

        if e == "timer" and p == pulseTimeout then
            break
        elseif e == "redstone" then
            --If the redstone input on the specified side has changed, update the state variable.
            if rs.getInput(side) ~= rsState then
                pulseTimeout = os.startTimer(5)
                rsState = rs.getInput(side)
                --If the input just went low, the pulse just ended. Increment the counter.

would this work for a counter for say the number of people who went over a pressure plate?

local count = 0
local side = 'left'
while true do
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  print('People passed: '..count)
  os.pullEvent('redstone')
  if rs.getInput(side) then
    count = count + 1
  end
end
