Problem - I thought I understood events

[Soandso2]

I thought I understood events, but apparently I do not. What am I missing?

Upon the first drop I looted, the function updateLoot starts spamming and never stops.

This is the Lua in full (used as a required script in my main Lua script)

[CODE lang="Lua" title="loot.Lua"]local loot = {}

local function lootlist()
print("\awLooted items")
for key,value in pairs(loot) do
print("\ayNumber of \ag"..key.."\ay = "..value)
end
end

local function updateLoot(line,item)
print(line)
if loot[item] == nil then
loot[item] = 1
else
loot[item] = loot[item]+1
end
end

mq.bind('/ll', lootlist)

mq.event("Update","--You have looted #1# from #*#",updateLoot)[/CODE]

cause you are printing line, so the event picks that up as your match, and then it runs again.

Events pick up on stuff printed in the MQ window as well? I did not know that. Thanks.
