Lua API Exposed... Sort of.

Allright everyone. I've got every function thats is exposed to us in Lua. Now we just need to figure out the parameters.

Some of these I have the arguments for already, but I would like some assistance in setting up a page on the official wiki. As I am completely horrible in UI design, I don't have a good template to use up there.

I will try and update this with information as soon as I am 100% sure of the parameters and what the function actually does internally.

 

Oooh. Very interesting!

 

Yep. Its been a real pain in the ASS to get it. For whatever reason most of the global tables are nil. _G (Lua's global table) doesn't even exist, and I can't get metamethods to work on it either.

But if you, or anyone else is good at editing the Wiki, I would appreciate any help in getting an imformative reference manual for the Lua functions.

 

This. Is. Amazing.

Thank you!

 

Wow thank you!

I just tried it myself and failed...

 

Stripped and sorted to make it more easy to read.

 

Is there any way to figure out the number and type of arguments some of these functions take aside from running them and looking into the error logs?

 

Its not that simple, but that is definitely a great idea. I have a feeling though that the stack trace that gets returned will be C++ level and not at the actual Lua level. Mast3rPlan was looking at the bindings in the source code and they seemed to differ from what was being called in the .Lua files. I will definitely give it a shot when Finals are over.

 

Look at the available lua files made by the devs. A lot of the functions are used there.
If you want to try things out and get some output back, you can use world.logInfo(string), which adds the string to the logfile.

 

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I got this function list

 

So the list possibly doesn't show all the functions? I tried to get the players entity object from its entityid (which seems to be always -65536) for some time now, but i didn't get it. Maybe there are still some functions missing.

 

It does. I iterated through the World, Entity, Tech, and Object Lua tables. So if it is not in here, it probabbly isnt exposed to us. Bartwe said they locked down lots of the lua to stop potential malicious code. For example, _G global table is nil.

 

I made a copy of decoyprincess and modded it a little to test some of the functions but so far I am able to spawn NPCs with world.spawnNpc("species", "type(e.g. friendlyguard)", level) http://i.snag.gy/0oWQP.jpg .

Also, chickens! http://i.snag.gy/QmwhW.jpg with spawnMonster("name", {level}). I'm a newb to lua so this isn't anything great, just thought it was fun to mess around with.

 

You should create a mod which spawns giant chickens you have to fight. The reward should be a cosmetic chicken suit.

 

https://gist.github.com/jordoh/7864154

Will add more when I get a chance.

 

Nice work!

 

Good stuff, but the descriptions are off starting at objectquery on line 51.

 

*peers at spawnItem* If anyone can get this working in LUA, I'm dying to know how.

 

what do you mean just the spawnitem lua function?
it's as easy as MorpH said just use the decoyprincess as template and spawn your stuff...

i made already a monsterpod for my mutant/monster breeding

 

Huh... I'll try that when I get home. I was trying everything to no avail.
