Hello friends

I am currently using version 5.3.6 of Lua on MTA successfully... i wanna know what other versions of Lua does MTA support? and where can i see them if there is any list or information.

i searched in wiki but didn't find anything about it 

thank you

MTA uses Lua 5.1 https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtasa-blue/tree/master/vendor/lua (correct me if I'm wrong). Features from more recent Lua versions won't work in your MTA Lua client/server scripts.

For example, the goto statement was only added in Lua 5.2 http://lua-users.org/wiki/GotoStatement

Thank you for your reply. Do you think that if there will be a change in this in the future, will be that version change of Lua mentioned in the changes section?

 

I mean, how do we know that a change has taken place and do you think that version change is possible and needed for MTA? thank u

Change will only happen if people ask for it or someone decides to do it out of own will. I don't know if there's need to upgrade Lua version entirely. I know new functions & features can be added directly when needed.

You can stay up to date with MTA Development:
