need noscripts combined please.

Hello everyone,

I got an .lua based NowPlaying widget for my linux mint system, run by the app Conky. It looks like this in action:

https://i.imgur.com/0uRWo0Z.png

The author has retired from the forums so I can't turn to him for help. What you see is the result of 2 .lua files building the total displays. One has code to only display if audacious is running, the other only if audacious is playing. The newest edits were created by ChatGPT3.5 and probably look ridiculous to a live coder. It did get the time remaining, numeric volume percentage, and volume bar coded and working, but cannot combine any of these features with the main .lua without breaking it so that nothing at all displays.

I would like to slowly try to merge these two .lua noscripts, and would like to start with the routine to display the time remaining on currently playing track that counts down each passing second. That is in this .lua:

require 'cairo'

-- Function to check if Audacious is playing
function isaudaciousplaying()
local status = execcommand("playerctl -p audacious status")
return status:match("Playing")
end

-- Main function for Conky
function conkymain()
if conkywindow == nil or not isaudaciousplaying() then
return
end

local surface = cairoxlibsurfacecreate(conkywindow.display, conkywindow.drawable, conkywindow.visual, conkywindow.width, conkywindow.height)
local cr = cairocreate(surface)

-- Draw volume bar and remaining time
drawvolumebar(cr)
drawremainingtime(cr)


cairodestroy(cr)
cairosurfacedestroy(surface)
collectgarbage()
end

-- Function to execute shell command and get output
function execcommand(command)
local handle = io.popen(command)
local result = handle:read("a")
handle:close()
return result
end

-- Function to get the current volume
function get_volume()
local command = "pactl get-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ | awk '{print $5}'"
local output = exec_command(command)
return tonumber(output:gsub("%%", "") or "0")
end

-- Function to convert RGB color to RGBA
function rgb_to_rgba(color, alpha)
return ((color / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((color / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255., (color % 0x100) / 255., alpha
end

local volume = get_volume()
local pct = volume / 100
local bar_properties = {

}

-- Draw the background of the volume bar
cairo_set_source_rgba(cr, rgb_to_rgba(0xffffff, 0.3)) -- White color with 0.3 alpha
cairo_rectangle(cr, bar_properties.x, bar_properties.y, bar_properties.width, bar_properties.height)

-- Draw the numeric volume value
local volumetext = tostring(volume) .. "%"
local x = barproperties.x + barproperties.width - 102 -- Adjust the x position for the text

cairostroke(cr)
end

-- Function to get the current position of the track
function getcurrentposition()
local command = "playerctl position"

end

-- Function to get the total duration of the track

local remainingtime = totalduration - currentposition

-- Convert remaining time to appropriate format
local remainingtext = secondstotime(remainingtime)

-- Add "-" sign before the time

-- Adjust position
local x = 20 + (conkywindow.width - 40) / 2 -- Center the text horizontally
local y = conkywindow.height - 50 - 4 -- Position 14 pixels above the volume bar

-- Modify these values to move the text
x = x + 32 -- Adjust horizontal position
y = y - 16 -- Adjust vertical position (subtract to move up)

Best VSCode Extension for Universal use of Lua?

Pretty much the noscript. I've pretty much only have used Luau inside of Roblox Studio, but I've been finding myself using standard Lua a lot more lately for everything from personal data science hobby projects to mod development like FiveM. Are there any good Lua extensions just for autocomplete?? Like all of the methods available, also too, when I write a function or a loop, I'd like the "end" to automatically be inserted. I've tried using the extension by the user "sumneko," but for one it seems like it's pretty opinionated, and two, it doesn't autocomplete my functions or loops. Any other options?? Or am I stuck diving into a journey of learning how to make an extension?? TIA!!!

Help

im coding a roblox game rn and i have a system where when you buy an upgrade and you click something you should get 2 of those things but for some reason when you buy the upgrade and it deducts your currency as soon as you click you get all your currency back i hav been troubleshooting for a while heres the code for the 3 main aspects of it local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

local crystals = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Crystals")



-- References to UI elements

local shopFrame = noscript.Parent

local buyButton = shopFrame:FindFirstChild("BuyButton")

local priceLabel = shopFrame:FindFirstChild("PriceLabel")



-- Initial upgrade values

local upgradeLevel = 0

local basePrice = 100

local priceIncrement = 100

local maxPrice = 5000



-- Function to update the price label

local function updateUI()

local currentPrice = basePrice + (upgradeLevel * priceIncrement)

priceLabel.Text = "Upgrade Price: " .. currentPrice .. " Crystals"

end



-- Function to handle button click and purchase

local function onBuyButtonClick()

local currentPrice = basePrice + (upgradeLevel * priceIncrement)



if crystals.Value >= currentPrice and currentPrice <= maxPrice then

-- Deduct crystals and update upgrade level

crystals.Value = crystals.Value - currentPrice

upgradeLevel = upgradeLevel + 1



-- Notify server to update crystal gain per click

game.ReplicatedStorage.UpgradeEvent:FireServer(upgradeLevel)



-- Update UI with new values

updateUI()

end

end



-- Connect the button click event to the function

buyButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onBuyButtonClick)



-- Initial UI setup

updateUI()

thats for the shop ui and its a local noscript


local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local upgradeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("UpgradeEvent")



-- Function to handle upgrades

local function onUpgradeRequested(player, upgradeLevel)

local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")

local crystals = leaderstats and leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Crystals")



if crystals then

-- Calculate new crystals per click

local baseCrystalsPerClick = 1

local newCrystalsPerClick = baseCrystalsPerClick + upgradeLevel



-- Update the player's data (in this case, updating an attribute)

player:SetAttribute("CrystalsPerClick", newCrystalsPerClick)



-- Optionally, you can save this data to a datastore here if needed

end

end



-- Connect RemoteEvent to the function

upgradeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onUpgradeRequested)

this is the server noscript thing and it is a noscript

local crystal = noscript.Parent

local clickDetector = crystal:FindFirstChildOfClass("ClickDetector")



-- Function to handle crystal click

local function onClick(player)

local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")

local crystals = leaderstats and leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Crystals")



if crystals then

-- Get the number of crystals per click

local crystalsPerClick = player:GetAttribute("CrystalsPerClick") or 1



-- Add the appropriate number of crystals to the player's count

crystals.Value = crystals.Value + crystalsPerClick

end

end



-- Connect the click event to the function

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

and that is the click noscript so when you click the thing you get the stuff anyone have any idea why its glitching?

So hard finding good tutorials on Lua Classic OOP library by rxi

Generally speaking teaching material and examples for Lua online is very minimal. I was recently following a tutorial that used rxi's classic library (https://github.com/rxi/classic) to implement simple OOP for Lua.

I am trying to find more information and examples of this library in use. I was really hoping for a couple more tutorials or maybe a video.

I am coming up blank. Maybe you all know of something. Seems like google is useless these days!

Compiling Luau statically on Windows

I wanted to embed luau into my app statically on windows.

Luau doesnt have a documentation for that, nor any good help threads about that.
Asking questions on github discussions will make the thread empty for millennials.

So, I download luau's source code, create a VisualStudio project via cmake (because obviously they dont want to support windows that much), build the required projects (Luau.VM and Luau.Compiler) aaaaand.... nothing.

It generates the libraries but the libs itself arent compatible with msvc.
It builds with MSVCRT lib (/MD; /MDd) by default instead of LIBCMT.
Because of that (and a lack of dlls), Im unable to use luau on my machine.

I tried going with cmake but it instead generates mingw shared libs which are:

not compatible with msvc
not static

Any help?
