Hello, ever since the new Cataclysm expansion launched my noscript for abbreviating the Player Frame/Target Frame/Focus Frame broke. It still works on the Player Frame only (the left 53k) but as you can see, the Target Frame is not abbreviated (53437) I also get about 30 lua errors.



The noscript I use to abbreviate that used to work is here:

hooksecurefunc("TextStatusBar_UpdateTextStringWithValues", function()

PlayerFrameHealthBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitHealth("player")))

PetFrameHealthBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitHealth("pet")))

PetFrameManaBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitPower("pet")))

PlayerFrameManaBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitPower("player")))

TargetFrameHealthBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitHealth("target")))

TargetFrameManaBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitPower("target")))

FocusFrameHealthBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitHealth("focus")))

FocusFrameManaBar.RightText:SetText(AbbreviateNumbers(UnitPower("focus")))

end)

NEED HELP TRIGGERING ANIMATION

Hello, I am new to noscripting and I am trying to make a humanoid play an animation when walking through a part.

The trigger part.

When walking through this part, the part is supposed to bed destroyed then the Humanoid spawns in playing and triggers another noscript to play the animation and sound. The sound plays and the Humanoid does spawn in for 3 seconds as intended but the animation does not play.

The Trigger noscript that destroys itself when touched and spawns the humanoid in for 3 seconds.

The noscript that is supposed to play the animation once it picks up that the Trigger Part has been destroyed.

Full explorer

So everything works as intended but the Animation does not play (I did insert an AnimationId). Please help with getting the animation to play

lson: JSON+ de/serializer in pure lua

https://github.com/civboot/civlua/tree/main/lib/lson

Hey y'all, I just wrote a JSON+LSON de/serializer in pure Lua. It's public domain and clocks in at only 260 lines of code.

LSON is a new spec I created with slightly cleaner syntax than JSON as well as support for binary data, which I plan to use for the civboot project's "database" etc. It's main advantage is it supports binary data and is slightly cleaner (no commas)

Help. I am finding Lua too complicated to work with.

Hello !
First of all, I am by no means a hater. I just want to share the experience I had with this language in the last couple of days. I am primarily a Python developer but I am also working with C++, C# and I've toyed with JavaScript in the past.
My biggest issue with this programming language is the support for errors.
Even in relatively simple applications, when there is something that goes wrong, I am really not shown any information about why my noscript is not working. Upon further investigation, I've found out that there are certain cases where I get returned a "nil" value rather than an exception. This makes it very had to debug the code as I have no clue where to look first, and that forces me to inspect the entire code without the slightest idea of what could cause the problem. At that point I must spam "print" functions to see where the code breaks (and It would seem print won't print me an object's ID if I pass it as a parameter). I don't know if I wrote a wrong variable name or if my function indeed doesn't return or gets any feedback at all. Lua seems very comfortable at throwing nil values even as function parameters, case where my function will simply do nothing rather than give an error. For context, I was working on a sockets application and compared to Python or C#, the process was very tedious.
This reminds me of when I tried to use JavaScript, where my code would do nothing and I wouldn't know why.
I know that Lua was meant to be very lightweight as an embedded language, part of which I understand, based on my limited experience, why it is considered more a noscripting language rather than a GPL.
Another things I dislike are how messy OOP can be in this language (without a proper "class" keyword) or how each statement requires the "end" word for declaration (those "end" words keep stacking and make it harder to read when looking for something specific). But these are things I can live with. But that "nil" thing scares me.
I hope I didn't sound rude in anyway, I simply shared my thoughts and experience (although limited) with this language. I am seeking for feedback and perhaps solutions to my problems.

Help with CameraTurnScript (roblox)

I am trying to replicate the way you turn around in Baldi's Basics in Roblox, so I made a code. The thing wrong is, when i hold down the TURN_KEY and I turn around, I'm walking in the direction of when the camera turns around. I need someone to make the movement controls reversed when you hold down the TURN_KEY

C++ style oop

Hello,

I made this:

Test = function(isBase, id)
---@private
local o = {
id = id or 5,
base = isBase or true,
}

o.index = o
o.getId = function(self)
return self.id
end

o.isBase = function(self)
return self.base
end
return o
end

Test2 = function(isBase, id, name)
local o = {
name = name,
}
setmetatable(o, Test(isBase, id))
return o
end

local test = Test2(true, "test")
local test1 = { Test2(false, 15, "lol"), Test2(false, 35, "lol") }

for , v in ipairs(test1) do
print(v:getId())
end


to somewhat mimic cpp style constructor at least.

So here is my question, is it correct path or it would result with unwanted behaviour?

A template for hybrid development between C and Lua

Symbiotic-Lua is a template for hybrid development between C and Lua, being very useful for hybrid teams, or to facilitate the creation of programs. It generates a native Windows/Linux binary, without the need to install Lua, so it can be used to build desktop apps, or run in environments that cannot install Lua.

Newbie Needs Unit Test Help

I have this simple test spec:

describe("Input Capture Service", function()

local api
local inputcaptureservice

beforeeach(function()
-- Mock the API object
api = mock({
executeString = function() end
}, true)
-- Create an instance of the inputcaptureservice with the mocked API
inputcaptureservice = inputcaptureservicemodule.inputcaptureservice(api)
end)

describe("getdigits", function()
it("should call api:executeString with the correct command", function()
-- Arrange
local soundfile = "test.wav"
local maxdigits = 5
local terminator = '#'
local expectedcommand = "playandgetdigits 1 5 1 5000 # test.wav silencestream://500"

-- Act
inputcaptureservice.getdigits(soundfile, maxdigits, terminator)

-- Assert
local stub = require("luassert.stub")

assert.stub(api.executeString).was.calledwith(expectedcommand)
end)
end)

Test results:

Input Capture Service getdigits should call api:executeString with the correct command spec/inputcapturespec.lua:32: Function was never called with matching arguments.

Called with (last call if any): (values list) ((table: 0x13ff416e0)

I can't sort out what I'm doing wrong with the stub here.

I've verified that the expected string is indeed being passed down the line correctly.

It's my first four days with Lua, pls halp, lol

LUA Executor?

Before anyone calls me a noscript kiddie, NO, I am not looking for a way to cheat in FiveM or Roblox. I am looking for a simple lua executor or a way to create one (I unfortunately don't know cpp to make injectors on my own).

Why? I am currently having fun decompiling Farming Simulator 2011 and fiddling around with it's source code and I was wondering if I can change game's boolean values or execute functions while the game is running since it was written in lua. Apologies if my post violates the rules. I am just a bored developer. Cheers :)

LUA Table ripple load

I need to create a LUA table (20 elements) and always write new values to newTable[20\]=newValue. On the next iteration of the write to index 20 the value at newTable[20\] needs to go to newTable[19\], and repeat until the original value falls off the top. I don't know what this is called, and suspect it's been done before. Is there a LUA library function that does this kind of thing? Thanks.
