C++ instead of LUA?

[TheNightRider]

Could anyone tell me if I could use C++ programming for my resourcing instead of LUA?

Any real advice would be very welcome

Thanks.

C++ is much harder, so i prefer LUA.

[TheNightRider]

sure but am a student and C++ is 1 of the things I have to learn. I was told its much better than LUA so I was wondering if MTA server can use C++ as a resource

[bandi94]

i am study C++ for 3 ears and its much harder that LUA and LUA is based on C++ only he have the special command's for MTA but you can learn that from wiki so MTA LUA is 50% C++ based

[CapY]

LUA is not based on C++.(atleast that's what i heard.)

http://www.lua.org/

Influenced by: C++, CLU, Modula, Scheme, SNOBOL

That doesnt answer his questions in any way.

Why do you bother posting answers CapY? You never really reply to questions..

It's true that C++ is better than Lua.

But if you don't know how to use it as a PRO, it won't be better; it will be a headache.

The best thing you can do is to learn C++ by some years... Take a look at Lua... Compare...

Sincerely, Lua can do almost anything in MTA, the only reason for you to use C++, is to create a patch.

No, use LUA.

@Wafamande you're doing that right now.

I just gaved him advice.

You didn't give him advise. You just gave him some wrong info, like you do most of the time.

At least try to Google your "advise" before posting it.

Its wrong 80% of the time.

C++ is a programming language whereas Lua is a scripting language. Programming and scripting is almost the same but traditional programming is more complex and has more control. You are limited with scripting in Lua for MTA since MTA blocks Lua's libraries and some of functions from different libraries. Programming in C++ has almost no limits and MTA would have to disable a lot of its features. C++ has to be compiled to compute, scripts don't have to be compiled and are easy to modify. Basically, scripting is very simple compared to traditional programming.

You can't program resources in C++ but you can program "modules" that can extend MTA server's features.

Look, dude.

If you don't have nothing smart to say, i suggest to get out of this topic.

Like you do most of the time.

And what's that supposted to mean ?

Nice one 50p.

Nice one 50p.

Look through your posts and see how many times you write: "No/Yes.. Blah blah blah.. But remember to do X, because I can't make it work any other way."

Seriously dude.. If you feel that you can help people, thats just great and please do so! But if the only advise you can give is what you THINK works and your own hacks to make things work.. Well.. People cant really use that, as its most likely not the correct way of doing it even if it works atm.

I am not the only person that have noticed this CapY.. I guess that I am just the only one confronting you about it.

Write me in private.. Dont wanna go anymore offtopic that we already are.

TheNightRider: 50p has got the best answer, pay attention to him only.

CapY and Wafamde, can u please use PMs? Thank you.

[TheNightRider]

Thanks people for your input, I do know about the wikki if you look on my profile you'll see a automated gate script which is my first script I'll have to learn to make Modules for the server I guess hopefully I'll pull it off

[12p]

Nice!

Good luck making your modules!

[Jaysds1]

How do you make a module?

Dont you have to use some other code for that?

[CapY]

C# or C++ only, as far as i know.

[Jaysds1]

ok,thanks CapY

What 50p said is correct, modules would be pretty good if you want to use C++

C# or C++ only, as far as i know.

Modules are written only in C++. They can define new Lua functions that can be called like any other MTA functions.

Different kinds of SDKs can be written in any language that supports request web page with HTTP POST and encode/decode JSON. That's C#, Java, PHP, etc. even C++.
