@name -screen inc/dec
@inputs 
@outputs Screen
@persist 
@trigger 
runOnChat(1)

if(owner():lastSaid() == "reset")
{ Screen = 0
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "1")
{ Screen = 1
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "2")
{ Screen = 2
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "3")
{ Screen = 3
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "4")
{ Screen = 4
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "5")
{ Screen = 5
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "6")
{ Screen = 6
}

if(owner():lastSaid() == "7")
{ Screen = 7

}


if(owner():lastSaid() == "9")
{ Screen = 9

This code should just feel wrong because when there is something you have to repeat with little or no change, there is probably a function to make it shorter.

In this case, there exists a function called S:toNumber() that will convert a text string to a number.

Also, you should use lastSpoke() == owner() so that the expression only runs when a the player who said something is the owner.

can you write the expression code? :l

We don't hand out code here, try it yourself, then if you mess up come back here, show us what you have and tell us what went wrong. Then we'll help you out.

When you have runOnChat, you need chatClk() for the chip to be able to update
Also, to make the code much simpler (you don't need all the if-statements) , just use toNumber, which converts whatever your lastSaid was to a number.
Try this:

@outputs Screen
runOnChat(1)
if(chatClk()) {
    if(owner():lastSaid()=="reset") {
        Screen = 0
    }
    else {
        Screen = owner():lastSaid():toNumber()
    }
}

Tested, works.
