I made that a little while ago.

i need to ask you something too
can oyu make that i write message to display? and that /clear clears monitor?
thanks

and also help how to set it up using woreless, thanks again

this shoud do :)/>/>

local function open() --this function detects any monitor
local bOpen, sFreeSide = false, nil
for n,sSide in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
if peripheral.getType( sSide ) == "monitor" then
return sSide
end
end
return false
end -- end of the function


x = open() -- this checks if the function said that a monitor is given
if x == false then
print("please add a monitor") -- end of the check
else

local m = peripheral.wrap(x) -- this adds the monitor

shell.run("clear") -- this shows the ui
print("Please enter the text to display:n(/clear will delete)") -- end of ui

while true do -- this creates an infinite loop

local txt = read() -- this reads your input

if txt ~= "/clear" then -- this checks if u didn't entered /clear

m.write(txt) -- this writes the text on the monitor

else -- this checks if u entered /clear

m.clear() -- this clears the monitor
m.setCursorPos(1,1) -- this sets the monitor coursor to the start

end -- end of the /clear check

end -- end of the declared loop

end -- end of the monitor check

it auto detects the monitor side and terminates if no monitor is given

ps: the – at the beginning indicates a comment

well thats a bit harder cuz the monitor only has the write function not the print which does that automaticly but there is this woraround im gonna give u
ill repost all the code + the new stuff

local function open() --this function detects any monitor
local bOpen, sFreeSide = false, nil
for n,sSide in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
if peripheral.getType( sSide ) == "monitor" then
return sSide
end
end
return false
end -- end of the function

x = open() -- this checks if the function said that a monitor is given
if x == false then
print("please add a monitor") -- end of the check
else
local m = peripheral.wrap(x) -- this adds the monitor
shell.run("clear") -- this shows the ui
print("Please enter the text to display:n(/clear will delete)") -- end of ui
while true do -- this creates an infinite loop
local txt = read() -- this reads your input
if txt ~= "/clear" then -- this checks if u didn't entered /clear
m.write(txt) -- this writes the text on the monitor
else -- this checks if u entered /clear
m.clear() -- this clears the monitor
m.setCursorPos(1,1) -- this sets the monitor coursor to the start
end -- end of the /clear check

if txt =="/line" then
x,y = m.getCursorPos()
y = y + 1
m.setCursorPos(x,y)
end -- end of the /line
end -- end of the declared loop
end -- end of the monitor check

hope this works ;)/>/> didnt test it in the game tell me if not im gonna fix it
