Alright, I really need help with this problem that I am having. I want to be able to use 2 different os.pullEvent()'s. The ones that I want to use and how I want to use them go something like this…


repeat
   event, side = os.pullEvent("disk")
   event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
until key == 207 or side == "right"
if key == 207 then
   print("Blah")
   os.sleep(2)
   os.shutdown()
elseif side == "right" then
   print(":(/>/>")
end

Ok, one works, and one doesn't. On my program that I am making, it causes the disk part to work, but when I press the key, (Should be "End") it does absolutely nothing.

Could someone help me to be able to get these to work, or something like this? Thanks, ChaddJackson12.

local event, param1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "disk" then
  -- do your disk handling
elseif event == "key" then
  -- do your key handling
end

Ok thanks, but is there a way to only accept a certain key?

param1 will contain the keycode. Compare against that in side your key handling.

So something like this?


local event, param1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "disk" and param1 == "right" then
-- stuff
elseif event == "key" and param1 == keynumber then
-- stuff
end
