I want to learn how to code in lua.

I play a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh especially on EDOpro. That program allows you to make custom cards. The code for the cards is done in lua. I have no background in coding at all. I want to try to learn it so I can make my own cards. What is the best way for me to learn about coding in lua. Is lua a good start or should I learn a different programming language first?

I get there's a lot of these but I need help to get an IDE for lua

ok so I used to code in python but I didn't really like it, in python I was using sublime text, so now I'm switching to Lua, but I'm basically still a newbie to coding, the reason why I'm switching to Lua specifically is just to mod tboi. I've looked online for information on how to code and I'll look more in depth about that later, but for now I need an IDE to program in lua so could anyone help me?

Decryption / FXAP

Hi! I have obtained a FiveM Script which I need urgently to work but I'm scared to try it because it might be malicious. The problem: I can't check the code because it is encrypted. Pretty sure it has something to do with with FXAP because it says on the top as the only readdable code and there is also a .fxap file. Any idea/help? Rest of the files arent encrypted and look good. Thanks in advance.

newproxy and userdata

I have been using Lua for many years now as it is my goto language.

However, I have never understood the purpose of userdatas.

From what I know, it sort of works like a table, where you can set a metatable to it and extend its functionality.

So what is the purpose of userdatas in Lua?

Question regarding Lua.

So I'm 16 now and planning on studying CS. So I thought I should start learning a language to help me later on at University. But me and my friend were talking about Making a Roblox game. Roblox uses the language Lua. The problem is I wanted to learn a coding language that would help me in the future. And I just wanted to know if me learning Lua would help me with other coding languages, or it's just completely unrelated to anything.

Lua Lib vulnerability scanning?

My firm does software composition analysis (SCA) for all languages (e.g. Blackduck, Xray), but none seem to support Lua. Is there anything out there that does vulnerability scanning for Lua? TIA.

Lua compiler

Does anybody know where I can download the iGO LUA Software mentioned in this modding guide:

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tropico-5-small-modding-tutorial.201529/

Obviously the link provided in the guide doesn’t work.

I would also appreciate suggestions with the same functionality that aren’t overly complicated to use.

Just for clarification: I’m not looking for a lua decompiler (like unluac) that make lua files that show a bunch of nonsense in the editor readable but the reverse software that compiles them into the original “nonsense” form.

Problem with Luarocks Module

I correctly installed luarocks without any error and installed a module but I get an error with:

require "myModule"

because Lua can't find the path where I've installed it. I've also tried with:

require "myPath\\myModule.lua

But I get the same error. How can I solve it?

Thanks in advance

Where do I start learning

Hello,

One of the metaverse I play has started using lua as language for their noscripting and I'm a 3d artist who wants to tap in the other side of gamedev. I really wanna learn lua to break the wall. So, as a non coder background, where do I start?

Logitech noscript help.

ive gotten a working noscript to move my mouse to doa 180 degree turn. Its set to MB4. However i want to use that noscript in a macro. So if i press MB5 it will be input as MB4 (noscript), then shift. But when i tried this by remapping mb5 to shift, delay, mb4. It just outputs as if i pressed shift.

MoveAmount = -900

function OnEvent(event, arg)

OutputLogMessage("event = %s, arg = %d\\n", event, arg)

if (event == "PROFILE_ACTIVATED") then

EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true)

elseif event == "PROFILE_DEACTIVATED" then

ReleaseMouseButton(4) -- to prevent it from being stuck on

end

if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then

for x=1,10,1

do

MoveMouseRelative(MoveAmount, 0)

Sleep(5)

end

end

end

this is the noscript. im not sure how to get the newly mapped macro to use it

How would you handler a function that returns depending on outcome, different amount of values?

Need help with lua noscript please!

Im trying to make a rapid fire (left click) noscript to work with my logitech mouse. I want it to continuously left click when both right and left click are being held at the same time, and to end when either right or left click are released(but especially left). I need both left and right click to still function as normal when only 1 of them are pressed.
this is what i have so far but the noscript only ends when right click is released.
i have tried changing the last 2 IsMouseButtonPressed(3) to IsMouseButtonPressed(1) but then the noscript just stops working compleatly


EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true);

function OnEvent(event, arg)

if IsKeyLockOn("scrolllock" )then -- scrolllock / On/OFF

if IsMouseButtonPressed(3) then

-- OutputLogMessage("check") --debugging

repeat



if IsMouseButtonPressed(1)then

-- OutputLogMessage("Rapid Fire") --debugging

repeat

PressMouseButton(1)

Sleep(15)

ReleaseMouseButton(1)

Sleep(15)

until not IsMouseButtonPressed(3)



end

until not IsMouseButtonPressed(3)

end

end

end
