Hello, I have a problem.

My script is stuck: I have a parallel.waitForAny with 3 functions, but one function doesn´t let me continue because is waiting for an imput (io.read), and the parallel.waitForAny cannot stop that when fired.

The idea is that the script waits for an imput until the parallel.waitForAny is fired

I hope that someone can help me, thanks

We cannot help without seeing the code. Also, note that you have to pass functions to parallel.* calls, not call them. In other words:


parallel.waitForAny(func1(), func2()) --// Incorrect usage

parallel.waitForAny(func1, func2) --// Correct usage

In the future please post your code, we can't really help much without it.

However based off your description I have a feeling your problem is one that is experienced often with people that do not know how the API works, I have an explanation here (which expands upon and explains what MKlegoman357 stated) that you can have a read through.
