Well, you will need to keep a map of users to their connections (sockets) if you want to write a chat server (as well as sets of users for each group). If you need to send a message to all users belonging to a specific group you do something like this:
for _, user_id in ipairs(groups[group_id]) do sockets[user_id]:send(msg) end This is really indepedent of Copas, Copas will just guarantee that if one of those sends blocks the other parts server will continue working instead of blocking too. -- Fabio Mascarenhas On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 10:44 PM, Sergeant K. <sergeantlu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm only moderately new to Lua, but very new to Copas and working with > LuaSocket.
