Copied over parallel API from CC, trying to get it working

[TheEisbaer 0]

Hello,

I am trying to use an API and a Programm I used in CC in OC:

 

API :

Program:

Error:

Where am I going wrong?

How do I fix it?

 

Thank your very much for help

I'm no expert in libraries or coroutines, though the way you have the library set up is incorrect for OC.

 

Fixed:

Note that all I did was make it so OC recognises the library and require() returns a table of functions instead of a boolean. I can't guarantee that the code that pre-existed works. I don't really know much about coroutines. Try it out and notice my changes, see if it works.

Aside from what Gangsir fixed, os.pullEventRaw doesn't exist in OC. Also, computer.pullSignal skips over all user created coroutines (so you'd need to override computer.pullSignal or event.pullFiltered to call coroutine.yield).

Just curious, what exactly do you mean with that? Coroutines aren't like threads, Lua doesn't automatically run them concurrently. Logically if you call computer.pullSignal in one coroutine, that will block all execution, even if you have some kind of "manual threading" (Plan9k).

OpenComputer wraps calls to coroutine.yield and coroutine.resume so that they can bubble sysyields. It's part of how OC handles component methods. (if you want to look at the code that does the yielding stuff you can check here )

Yes, I "knew" that (i. e. I read that piece of code once before). Though I don't understand how this relates to computer.pullSignal and "skipping" coroutines.

computer.pullSignal uses the bubbling yield (rather than the user-exposed yield)

[dgelessus 26]

By "skipping" do you mean that computer.pullSignal's yield cannot be "caught" by user code?

That's precisely what I mean.

Oh, then I was just understanding you wrong before. Sorry for being a derp (and derailing the thread)
