Help with scripting !

[Loschi]

Hello, good evening.

Could someone help me, I am creating a script and I want to compile it, but I want to have a configurable file for people.
How do I create an edit.lua file? 

I would like this file to edit information that is in the compiled server.lua !

Thank you all !

edit.lua

-- Put configuration into _G the global variables so that they can be imported by compiled.lua
config1 = "test"
config2 = 42
...

compiled.lua

-- Import the configuration as local variables.
local config1 = config1
local config2 = config2
...

meta.xml

<meta>
  <script src="edit.lua" type="server" />
  <script src="compiled.lua" type="server" />
</meta>

This is the pattern that I recommend based on your description.
