use this function :)/>/>
example:
function monitorsp(text,monitor)
for x=1,string.len(text) do
char = string.sub(text,x,x)
monitor.write(char)
sleep(0.2) -- change this to change the print delay
end
end
example:
disp = peripheral.wrap("side")
monitorsp("this is a slowprint test",disp)

Make a file with this
textutils.slowPrint("TEXT_HERE")
Save, Exit, then type
monitor <DIRECTION> <FILE_WITH_THAT_CODE>
textutils.slowPrint("TEXT_HERE")
Save, Exit, then type
monitor <DIRECTION> <FILE_WITH_THAT_CODE>

textutils.slowPrint("Test")
problem is u have to call it outside of code or use shell.run() which is an extra step to do something when u can just use my function inside of your program code :)/>/>Make a file with this
textutils.slowPrint("TEXT_HERE")

You are creating a function.
Why not just do
Why not just do
side = "" -- Side here
mon = peripheral.wrap(side)
term.redirect(mon) -- Beginning
textutils.slowPrint("Blahblahblah") -- Spaced because of beginning and end
term.restore() -- End

@Kolpa
Have you tried it -.-
It works.
You don't need to do mon.write( "" )
