Help for a noob

hi im hoping for a kind soul inhere
im making a rollorcoster ride for fellow servermembers to tour my base and im a total noob at programming

what i need is simple… a text field that i can change and a "continue ride" button below
ofc need directions on how to enter program to edit text. guess i need some sort of redstone signal to activate the rail… under the middle white block under the screen maybe?

here is a picture of the first stop on the ride

You have to detect "monitor_touch" events. Then check the coordinates and see if it is within the boundaries of the button. If yes, then toggle the redstone output on the computer for a second and then turn it off.

well ehhh ok… did i mention i dont know how to program? giggle… prolly sound right but wouldent know how to do that

Here is some very short code:

mon = peripheral.wrap(side) --side can be right, left, top, bottom, back, fron or a network address such as "monitor_1"
term.redirect(mon) -- making mon the standart drawing target
paintutils.drawFilledBox(1,1,7,3,colors.red) -- drawing try it out and find out
while true do
  event = {os.pullEvent("monitor_touch")} -- get the evnt
  if 1 =< event[3] and event[3] =< 7 and 1 =< event[4] and event[4] =< 3 then --check if it is in the boundaries
  rs.setOutput("bottom",true) --redstone, get on
  sleep(0.5) --sleep
  rs.setOutput("bottom",false) -- and now off
  end
end

That doesn't look like an advanced monitor though - so no touch events. Do you have a ComputerCraft version that already supports advanced computers/monitors?

If not, the only option would be to use redstone buttons and just display some text on the monitor.
