Lua functions...

[megaman54]

Does these functions work in MTA scripts? > http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html

[proracer]

Yep.

[megaman54]

Ok thanks

Not entirely true actually.

Coroutines don't work, all those lua_ and luaL_ functions aren't for lua, io ones don't work, os ones don't work, etc.

Easiest way to check is to go in runcode and simply type the function name and if you can use it will return something like " function: 27E63500 [function]"

So, is there a lua "emulator" where i could use those functions?

[SDK]

two ways:

1) using runcode (first start runcode resource), this can be done on the server console (example: "run split") or in the server when you're admin ("/run split")

2) using the admin panel ingame, at the resources tab (just "split" should do)

What does "split" do? Can i run os. lua functions then?

[SDK]

split was an example function

os. functions are not supported, you can get the time and do file stuff with these:

Ok.. Can i execute .exe or .bat files with lua?

[Aibo]

obviously no.

[Castillo]

Why would you execute a .bat or a .exe file? i see no point.

Just asking and thanks for the replys everybody!
