As far as I have been told LUA is one of the easier languages to learn, for the basics there is a blog post that can be found here ->
game engines use something called hooks to intergrate lua into there systems also know as API's that can be found here ->
once you get a basic understanding of the tutorials in the blog posts I have put some demo scenes on the forum found here ->
I try to put as much information in the comments of the scripts as I can to describe what each line does, I think that this would be the easier way to learn LUA, bare in mind that I am learning myself and only really started learning lua when I bought the commercial version of skyline earlier this year even tho I had a background in Java and C++ over 20 years ago and this is the first time i have done any form of programming in that time... (yup I am an oldie lol)..
You will find that the API documentation needs updating a little and the newer API commands are in the change logs of the updates, so when you get a bit further on in LUA you might want to look in them to see if your missing a command or put a request for one in the forum.
If your trying to make a script for any reason and want help just post in the forum everyone here will try and help what ever way we can.Statistics: Posted by epsilonion — 15 Sep 2015, 00:55
