I'm a pretty major noob when it comes to this stuff, so please assume I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I am attempting to create a program in startup so that I have to log in with a name and password, and after I do I will have access to a menu that will look something like this:
Where the brackets show you which option you've selected. Once you press enter I want it to take you to another smaller menu which will will essentially be:
I have the log-in system down, my issue is with creating a menu that I can scroll through the options.
Here is what I use to log in with, I found this on the forums and modified it, but I can't recall from where or else I'd credit it.
I was wondering if I would be able to use this menu code (also found here), to make it so I can scroll through the 4 options above, then let me choose "enable/disable", each of which will run a separate program which would essentially turn a redstone signal on or off.
My issue isn't with creating programs for the enable/disable bits, more with how I would integrate the scrolling menu with my current log-in system and make the options link to executable programs.
Can anyone give me a shove in the right direction?
