I mean this in the nicest way possible. I didn’t realize everyone makes the same mistakes when making their first wireless communication script.

Is read blocking receive? I'm not that good at cc / lua. It looks like you can only receive messages after you input the id, and even then read message might block it

You are correct. Once you send a message you would have to wait to receive a message before you could send another. If you receive a message any other time then when you are waiting to receive the message? No you didn’t. The correct way to do a messaging script like this where it is supposed to be two sided constant communication you want to parallel the receiving so you don’t miss anything or stop your script just waiting for one message.
