{Question/Lua}PullEvent

Hi guys, I was just wondering if there is anyway to check for an event: event = os.pullEvent()
without it waiting, or should I just make a timer that will last 10 milliseconds that will pull it out of its waiting if nothing is there?
and will pulling event pull the last event or only work if the event happens while its waiting?


thanks

Nah, os.pullEvent() yields the program until an event happens. So the timer thing could work if you do it correctly. But pullEvent only accepts events while it is running. Get creative!

pullEvent will pull any event from the queue - even ones that were queued before you ran the command. However read() and sleep() discard any events that they aren't looking for.
