Hi All, I Was Just Wondering How I Could Make A Chat Function That Would ALWAYS Receive Msgs, But Still Be Able To Do Other Things. I Want To Be Able To Message A Computer, But If Im Msging, I Dont Want To Miss A Msg. Would This Be Possible? And, If So, Would It Be Better To Send The Msgs To A Server, Then Have That Send It To The Specified Computer?
Thanks In Advance!

Yup that's entirely possible. No, it would not help to centralize your events. Take a look at this tutorial.

You can have the computer catch events using os.pullEvent() while still being able to do other thibgs. This is achieved using the paralell API. The docs for it can be found on the CC wiki.

Not really? you could easily do the following:
while true do local args = { os.pullEvent() } if args[1] == "timer" then -- Run timer code elseif args[1] == "mouse_click" then -- Run mouse_click code, I use it in all my programs, do not use the parallel API at all. end end
I made this tutorial for making touch screen events, but it can be used for waiting for multiple events to fire.

Just use an if statement, and args[1] will be the event and args[2], args[3] and up to args[5] will be any returns as it is stored in a table.
