I would like to know how I can make a selection menu...
I already know how to make stuff that deals with inputs that have to do with words, such as: Type an option: shutdown, play, ect...
I would like to have a selection menu, like this for an example:
[ ]Shutdown Computer
[ ]Play CD
Where, an 'o' would be in the selected thing. Like this for an example:
[o]Shutdown Computer
[ ]Play CD
I do not know the code to do this, please help me with it as much as you can! Thanks.

If you try to write the 'o', it will be a lot more complicated than click in the [ ] and write there an 'o', simply because you could type many other things.

Here's some code I dug up from my old projects:
I just ripped it from a file, so some of the code may seem a little odd, and or incorrect spacing. Like I said, I took it out of an old project. I was too lazy to remove the centerPrint functions as well, so why not.
Edit: I noticed I didn't change the selection character to "o".... I think you should be able to figure it out on your own.... any troubles, just message me.
local function centerPrint(text) msgLen = string.len(text) screenWidth,_ = term.getSize() xCoords = tonumber(math.ceil((screenWidth / 2) - (msgLen / 2))) _,termY = term.getCursorPos() term.setCursorPos(xCoords, termY) print(text) return xCoords end local place = 1 while true do term.setTextColor(colors.green) term.setBackgroundColor(colors.gray) term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1, 1) print("Security Options") print("") term.setTextColor(colors.yellow) if place == 1 then centerPrint("> Open Door <") centerPrint("Edit Redstone") centerPrint("Administration") centerPrint("Developer Tools") elseif place == 2 then centerPrint("Open Door") centerPrint("> Edit Redstone <") centerPrint("Administration") centerPrint("Developer Tools") elseif place == 3 then centerPrint("Open Door") centerPrint("Edit Redstone") centerPrint("> Administration <") centerPrint("Developer Tools") elseif place == 4 then centerPrint("Open Door") centerPrint("Edit Redstone") centerPrint("Administration") centerPrint("> Developer Tools <") end _, key = os.pullEvent("key") if key == keys.up and place > 1 then place = place - 1 elseif key == keys.down and place < 4 then place = place + 1 elseif key == keys.enter then break end end if place == 1 then -- Do something elseif place == 2 then -- Something else elseif place == 3 then -- Something else elseif place == 4 then -- Something else end
