    Default Making Expressions Display words on screens

    I'm trying to make an expression that displays words on the wire screen that I wire it to.
    For example:
    Code:
    Display (Cakes are good)
    Then when you wire a screen to the Expression gate, it would display "Cakes are good" on the Wire Screen.
    Is there anyway to do this?

    Expression does not use strings to make values (Well, sometimes). Expressions are mainly used for integers.

    Look up the E-gate Cat Console.

    Only one problem, you'd need a way to store and send the values "Cakes are Good" on Ram then send them to the screen (keyboard emulation method seems to be the only way it works)

    It can be done, it's just not that easy.

    Couldn't you also use the Wire Text Screen. You can set up various strings to be stored and then your expression gate will just need to output an integer to tell it which of the strings to show.

    I actually just figured taht out a couple of days ago, but I'm not sure how I would write that, because i'm also trying to sync it with a clock, so probably something like
    Code:
    time == 0 text == 1
    Or something.
    Could someone help me with the code?
