thread question #2

[Ta©ti Tac0Z 2]

i don't know if this is even possible but what i am trying to do is this

 

NOTE: that is know that useing a thread in this scene is 100% Unnecessary but remeber this is a simple test

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thread = require "thread"

e = require "event"

 

running = true

 

t = thread.create(function()

  e.pull("touch")

  

-- i know that i can put a os.exit() here but the thing is to try to get this to work

running = false --<< that

end)

 

while running do

  --some random thing to run a io.read() will be a good combo

 

  print( "you said: "..io.read() )

end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

so this ends the thread as inspected but does not end the loop my guess is that all things in the thread function is local only but what can i then do to update the "running" value in the global process aka in the while loop???

 

all help will be great

 

--thanks

When you say the loop doesn't end do you mean it doesn't end immediately or it doesn't end after you press enter.

io.read() is a blocking operation so io.read() must complete before it checks if it is still running.
