ok well I am deeply against fake loading screens, to the extent that i wrote an API that allows for real loading screens not fake ones… but heres what u can do

function Loading()
  local a = 2
  while true do
	term.clear()
	term.setCursorPos(20,10)
	write( "Loading" )
	for i = 0, 4 do
	  write( "." )
	  sleep(1)
	end
	a = a - 1
	if a == 0 then break end
  end
end

your pictures were not loading and I dislike searching the whole internet just to find some more recent ones, so I didn't know if it was worth learning what all those functions do. But thanks.

Storing 2 x and y variables as a string to pair them is not a great idea. It would be much easier if you just left them as separate integers.

What's wrong with your code though is that you're only setting c to the first variable in that comma-separated list you've made:

c = "40,11", "41,11", ...
-- c is only getting set to the first variable in the list, which is "40,11"
-- You cannot set c to multiple different values at the same time.

What you would want to use here is an array of the coordinates, set c to that, then loop over every coordinate (using a for loop) and check if XY equals any of the coordinates in the array. If it does, perform the loading and break from the loop. Eg:

while true do
  local event, button, x, y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
  c = {"40,11", "41,11", "42,11", "43,11", "44,11", "45,11"}
  XY = x .. "," .. y
  for k, v in pairs(c) do
	if XY == v then
	  -- Perform loading
	  break
	end
  end
end

A better way of doing it though is to check if the y value equals the y value of the printed text, and the x value is between the start and the end of the text on that line. Here:

while true do
  local e, but, x, y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
  -- Remember, you list stated that your click points were on line 11, and between 40 and 45.
  if y == 11 and x >= 40 and x <= 45 then
	-- Perform loading
  end
end

b = {"20,9", "21,9", "22,9", "23,9", "24,9", "25,9", "26,9", "27,9", "28,9", "29,9", "30,9"}
c = {"20,10", "21,10", "22,,10", "23,10", "24.10", "25,10", "26,10", "27,10", "28,10", "29,10", "30,10"}

break
elseif (missing data) and button == 1 then

break
elseif (missing data) and button == 1 then
