Just forget it.....

I just found out that i could edit a local write function... now my only problem is the scrolling...

Spoiler

Hello Everyone />/>/>

Im making an AdvSetup for all my programs. (currently only for AdvLock).

But im still struggling about making an console output field in the middle of the screen...


EDIT:
tried rewriting the "write" function... but it doesnt go to a next line when reaching the max width...
(max width is 34... min width is 16
miny is 6 (this doesnt do it either..,. (just prints from line 1 instead of line 6)
maxY is 14 (haven't tested if this doesnt work...)
)

Questions:

How do i make so the consoleOutput will automatic split a long string onto more lines, when reaching the max size of the custom console?

How do i make a "faster" way to make my console print and scroll without the text flooding out of the screen?
