Receiving a rednet message through os.pullEvent()

2012-04-17T07:20:49Z

XDot:

The following method is a good method of receiving a rednet message without using rednet.receive().
It is usually used in IRC, Chat programs e.t.c.
When a message arrives to a computer, a "rednet_message" event occurs.
== The Code ==
This is a typical Listener which prints the content and the sender id of any incoming message.
rednet.open("Direction_of_modem")
while true do
event, id, text = os.pullEvent()
if event == "rednet_message" then
print(id .. "> " .. text)
end
end

== Explanation ==
rednet.open("Direction_of_modem")
Here we just open the modem.

while true do
We start a loop because os.pullEvent() terminates itself after 10 seconds.

event, id, text = os.pullEvent()
We wait for an event to occur and when this happens, we store the event's info into 3 variables.
NOTE: You can give your variables whichever name you want.

if event == "rednet_message" then
We check if the event was a rednet message.

print(id .. "> " .. text)
We print the message and the id of the sender.

end
end
We close our previous statements.

Note: From my research, I didn't find a similar article and decided to make one. I hope that someone will improve it.
