How would I use so something like co-routines or parallels.waitForAny() with a mouse click event

event, button, x, y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")

if y == 18 then
   --do stuff
end

Since os.pullevent() calls coroutine.yeild(), how would I have 2 functions, one of them using the mouse click event, run at the same time?

EDIT: The other function would be read() [For a login screen with shutdown and restart buttons]

Making an OS called CraftedOS which I would like to use this help for

Again? I understood you have one function which processes a mouse_click event, but what would the other do?

Thanks for that, will probably be helpful but I forgot to mention that the other function will be running read() so I don't think that it will help

[EDIT] would be helpful for some buttons with a clock that auto updates

Put the mouse click code in a function, and the read() code in a function, and use parallel.waitForAny(mouseClickFunctionName, readFunctionName).
It will run both of them at the same time until either returns.

Thanks, I think I have tried this but it didn't work, I'll just look over my code

Hopefully I will soon, it's just I reworte the code to say to the user "Use ctrl+S to shutdown"
Hopefully shouldn't take too long to write it back in
