So ive been making a CTF match and im making the score board. And i have arrays coded but i dont know how to make them bigger on the monitor cause i cant make the monitor print the text. so i have to either do shell.run("monitor, "back", "board") or monitor back board. Please help me i just want to make the text bigger.

Try this:


monitor = peripheral.wrap("side")
monitor.setTextScale("1-5")
monitor.write("Your Stuff") OR term.redirect(monitor)

Yeah but just use (name).setTextScale("1-5")

Where the name is defined a a peripheral. Put that code in a file. (Could you show me the code that prints it to the monitor?)

Add this to the top of your file:


m = peripheral.wrap("back")
m.setTextScale(3)

Tell me if that works

monitor = peripheral.wrap("side") -- of which the monitor is in comparison to screen
monitor.setTextScale("1 2 3 4 or 5") -- only pick one
monitor.write("What Ever Your text is") OR term.redirect(monitor)
