They shouldn't be there. You're trying to set the result of calling one function to the result of calling another - getting rid of the brackets will make it so that you're setting one function pointer to match that of another.
Remove the parenthesis is what he means, so:
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw;
So you set os.pullEvent to the os.pullEventRaw function, since calling it only returns what the function returns which will give you problems and not what you want.

That's good that you noticed that, Also when overriding the old os.pullEvent function you should create a backup of the old oneOh, For the record Brackets [], Parenthesis ()
old_pullEvent = os.pullEvent -- Backup the old function
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw -- Override it
os.pullEvent = old_pullEvent -- Restore it

Well if I'm correct that will error since you can't actually localize os.pullEventOut of curiosity, could you not also localize a variable so everything is restored when the program quits and exits?Even if the program errored out, the reassignment would also 'go away' since it is local within the scope of the program, right?local os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

Sorry, didn't know you spoke a different language. I'll keep that in mind for now on.It is. A table or function pointer is stored in a variable, same as a number or a string.Oh, For the record Brackets [], Parenthesis ()
Heh. For the record, not everyone speaks "American" English.
