So I want to receive a message while doing a mouse_click function and I want to be able to receive multiple messages at once and yet be able to do the mouse_click function.

How could I do that?

while true do
  local event = { os.pullEvent() }
  if event[ 1 ] == "rednet_message" then
    local id, msg = event[ 2 ], event [ 3 ]\
    --#do stuff
  elseif event[ 1 ] == "mouse_click" then
    --#do stuff
  end
end
