Decide whether you want to increase it before or after executing code.calls = 0 while true do id, msg = rednet.receive() -- do something with that data calls = calls + 1 end
calls = 0
while true do
e, id, msg = os.pullEvent("rednet_message") -- this is a better option
-- do something with that data
calls = calls + 1
end

It is another option, but why would it be better in this case?calls = 0 while true do e, id, msg = os.pullEvent("rednet_message") -- this is a better option -- do something with that data calls = calls + 1 end
