Help with os.pullEvent()

i am having a problem… i want to inculde key pressing to my program but if i do then the progrm cant receive any rednet message.
Here is the code so far:

shell.run("clear")
rednet.open("right")
print"Welcome to turtle controller by RoD!"
while true do
event, scancode = os.pullEvent("key")
if (tostring(scancode)) == "17" then
rednet.send(15, "w", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "30" then
rednet.send(15, "a", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "31" then
rednet.send(15, "s", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "32" then
rednet.send(15, "d", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "57" then
rednet.send(15, "space", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "42" then
rednet.send(15, "shift", true)
shell.run("clear")
shell.run("startup")
else
print("Unrecognised command")
sleep(2)
shell.run("clear")
shell.run("startup")
end
end

Can someboy say what am i doing wrong pls? :P/>

Please point to where the program receives a rednet message. I can't find one.

Split into new topic.

Please don't resurrect year-old topics to add an unrelated question of your own.

The program has not yet the receiver… i need to add one thats why i need some help, if i want to run the loop that detects if i press a key, i cant receive any message from the turtle. Is there anyway to this?

Don't use the "key" filter in your os.pullEvent call, of course.

shell.run("clear")
rednet.open("right")
print"Welcome to turtle controller by RoD!"
while true do
event, scancode, mess, dist = os.pullEvent()
if event == "rednet_message" then
-- rednet code messages
-- scancode will contain the ID of the sender of the rednet message
-- mess stores the rednet message
-- dist is the rednet send distance.
elseif event == "key" then
-- your normal code
if (tostring(scancode)) == "17" then
rednet.send(15, "w", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "30" then
rednet.send(15, "a", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "31" then
rednet.send(15, "s", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "32" then
rednet.send(15, "d", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "57" then
rednet.send(15, "space", true)
elseif (tostring(scancode)) == "42" then
rednet.send(15, "shift", true)
shell.run("clear")
shell.run("startup")
else
print("Unrecognised command")
sleep(2)
shell.run("clear")
shell.run("startup")
end
end
end

that should achieve the thing you are trying to do I hope.
