Hi, i was just wondering if there was anyway to make the monitor have flashing text or get textutils.slowPrint("") to work on the monitor. I could really use some help! Please and thank you to whoever helps me ahead of time :D/>/>

just use the code

term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(side))
or

mon=peripheral.wrap(side)
term.redirect(mon)
and everything that should go to the computer shows on the monitor instead

Yes with mon.setTextScale( size )

replace size with anything from 0.5 to 5 in 0.5 increments.

To do this make sure you wrap the monitor to the var mon. Like listed above.

mon=peripheral.wrap(side)

It's changed. From the wiki.
mon.setTextScale( scale ) Sets the size of the text on the Monitor. Textscale can be between 0.5 and 5, with increments of 0.5.

can you give us the error? in order to modify the text scale you must have used the

mon=peripheral.wrap(side)
term.redirect(mon)
method
