I'm running a program which tells the time in ftb but it can't get it to display the monitor in the command, i have to do that manually. how do i switch it to display on a monitor automatically.

You must wrap the peripheral (the monitor itself.) I.e. Mon = peripheral.wrap

You have to use the monitor handle you assigned. ie instead of

print ("stuff")

you would use

Mon.print ("stuff")
 
Interesting. You could use a computer to return any piece of information to you via chat?

I am assuming that you type something into chat and that's when it returns to you all that text?
 
You can use the chat box with the computer to display something in chat. But if you we're on a server only you would see it.

ComputerCraft doesn't interact with chat that I know of. That script you're looking at, when written correctly, would output the text to a ComputerCraft monitor.
 
Do note that Monitors will not automatically clear themselves, or reset the cursor position, if you run a long program.

Not with base ComputerCraft, at least. MiscPeripherals adds a Chatbox device that can send and receive to chat.
 
What do you mean by not reset it's self. I've ran a clock program for 5-6 hours and its been fine.
 
What is this program for then? Is it an access point specifically created to give you the time? Why not just make a vanilla watch. It's portable.

It's very tempting when someone has an issue they're trying to work through to suggest alternatives, but it's also not very constructive. They're not asking what options they have to see the time in the game, they're asking what they need to correct in their code to display their output to a monitor. Their issue also appears to have been resolved.
 
Oh, I'm just wondering what he's building and what the purpose of it is.

Perhaps in providing his reasoning, I can uncover the reason as to why he's chosen this specific way to find the time. Also, my first assumption as to the function of this program was incorrect, which is why I am now inquiring into what the intent is. If it isn't clear, I can reiterate =)
 
I'm using a computer because its much cooler then a normal clock. Also it's much handy just to see the time every once and a while
 
Yea, also i can see the minute and hour in minecraft rather then using the vanilla lock and seeing if it is dark or light.
