I have this piece of code in one file: Code:Copy to clipboard if cc_value[4] ~= nil then local function_name = cc_value[4] function_name(db.actor, nil) When the function being called is in the same file, it reads it from local and does what it's supposed to. However, if the function is in another file (example_file.script) and the following code is used… Code:Copy to clipboard if cc_value[4] ~= nil then local function_name = cc_value[4] example_file.function_name(db.actor, nil) … it ignores...

Hi all. Code is below (GLUA). Trying to set up the code so that when an npc spawns in-game, it will spawn with a random model pulled from the innies table each time it is spawned.

Requirements: a lua interpreter sitting tight with you You may be new to lua, so keep in mind: Lua and Luau (Roblox Lua Scripting) may not have the same process. You will learn how to show the text you want in the screen. So, here we go. We can do this by using the power of print() Here's how you will do it: print(text) You probably got the hang of this now, but put quotation's marks in your text "like this" or maybe 'like this, it's your...

Hi, I'm attempting to write an interpreter in Lua, and the first idea was to make it able to run a simple  print function. If anyone is able to answer what's wrong, i would appreciate it. Here is my main code: Code:Copy to clipboard nm = require "numbers" exec = false function readAll(file) local f = assert(io.open(file, "rb")) local content = f:read("*all") f:close() return content end fc = readAll("main.i") for i=1,#fc,1 do if string.find(fc,"prt") and not exec then...

I am working with Embedded Lua So what I want is to be able to report when a host function does something that I think it should not do. I could try to look for an equivalent to the idea of throwing an exception. I also want to have it running in a thread for a game and have another thread terminate the interpreter when the game has to shut down ..read more
