1: groups of ten have seperate colours

2: units within the tens have seperate colours

3: the up or down functions have different colours.

All I need it to do is ask the user which floor they would like to go to, compare it to the current floor, and output the 3 appropriate colours. The lift will be stopped automatically by a piston in the appropriate place, and a pressureplate by the door will handle resetting the computer's outputs to all false. I then also need the pressureplate's signal to transfer the desired floor variable to become the current floor variable.

That's it, that's all I need, or any advice on how to do it myself would be perfect... That's some pretty complicated stuff. While I'm no expert on this subject, may I point you towardsCC's forums, where expert Lua Coders can help you. Just tell them your CC version number (1.4.1).
