How do you wait for an event to happen twice?

Lets say I have this code

event = os.pullEvent()
if event == "mouse_click" then
  print "Yay"
end

How would I make it wait to print the message only after I've clicked twice?

Well, if all you want is to ensure that you get two mouse click events in a row, you can do dumb tricks like this:

if (os.pullEvent()) == "mouse_click" and (os.pullEvent()) == "mouse_click" then

But if you want anything more complex than two mouse clicks anywhere any time apart with no other events in between, you'd need to do it differently.

Yeah that worked. Can't believe I didn't think of that :D/> Thanks a million.
