Is there a blacklist for os.pullEvent()

So I am using os.pullEvent() for touch screen, but I also have to prevent people from terminating my program. If I use os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw then the touch screen does not work. So can I just have it so it completely ignores the terminate command?

os.pullEventRaw will always return terminate events, no matter what filter you set. When you say your "touch screen does not work", I assume you mean "your script crashes when hitting terminate", in which case your fix is to have your code check that your received event data represents a monitor_touch event was received before trying to treat it like a monitor_touch event.

Post your code if you're still stuck.

You could modify os.pullEvent to ignore "terminate" events.

local unpack = unpack or table.unpack --#compatibility with 5.1 & 5.2
os.pullEvent = function( sFilter ) --#override os.pullEvent
  local result
  repeat --#pull a raw event until the returned event is not terminate
    result = {os.pullEventRaw( sFilter )}
  until result[ 1 ] ~= "terminate"
  return unpack( result )
end

ok tnx helped a lot
