The modem's wiki is here: https://ocdoc.cil.li/component:modem

event.listen() returns all the variables given by the event being called. This is the modem's return:

local ev, to, from, port, dist, ... = event.pull("modem_message")

ev is the event that is returned, which for the modem should equal "modem_message"

to is the address of the modem that received it (the wireless network card that is installed on the machine)

from is the address of the modem that sent the message

port is the port that the message was received on

dist is the distance away the computer which sent the message is

... is any other variables that the computer passes. For instance, if you were to run 

component.modem.broadcast(123,"Hello","World")

and your event.pull looked like

local ev, to, from, port, dist, message1, message2, message3 = event.pull("modem_message")

port would be set to 123, message 1 would equal "Hello", and message2 would equal "World". message3 would just be nil

 

Hope this helped

So i just make like this:?

function f()
  local _,_,_,_,_,msg = event.pull("modem")
  print(msg)
end

event.listen("modem", f())

I'm trying to make a function which will for example print out the message which was broadcasted by a modem.

I'm going to use event.listen, but i dont understand how to get the signal output. Can someone help me?

Networking: i need to get the transferred data from event.pull("modem"), but all i get is modem_message(see photo)

How can i get the "hello everyone" to a string?(and possibly the distance too)
