Events from coroutines not showing

I'm making a thing with co-routines, but whenever I call os.queueEvent from the co-routine the parent thread doesn't get the event. I'm probably misunderstanding how os.queueEvent works. I could probably communicate through coroutine.yield, but at this point I'm just interested in why it doesn't work.

The event will be available to the parent coroutine. Whether it successfully catches it depends on your own code.

Can one queue an event with a function as one of the arguments?

That's one of those questions that'd be easiest to answer by testing it yourself, perhaps. ;)/>

But assuming the answer is "no", you could put the function(s) you wanted to queue into a table, then queue an event with the key name. Eg, something loosely along these sorts of lines:

local myFuncs = {
	["someFunc"] = function()
		-- do stuff
	end,
	
	["someOtherFunc"] = function()
		-- do more stuff
	end
}

os.queueEvent("runThisFunc", "someFunc")

while true do
	local myEvent = {os.pullEvent()}

	if myEvent[1] == "runThisFunc" then
		myFuncs[myEvent[2]]()
	elseif myEvent[1] == whatever -- etc...

Thank you for your help. I found out that you cannot pass functions through an event. Just turning the field to nil isn't really a good way to bring that to someones attention though.
