"bulletdamage" then
    bullet_damage = bullet.damage + 1
end
   
end


Alright, so this is the code I am using, I have added basic upgrades to the game that you get randomly after each wave. With my code currently as is shown here, whenever the createBullet() function is run it will not add to the bullets list, or maybe the bullets list is being cleared? Anyways if someone could tell me why it will not make any bullets, and maybe send an updated version of the code that would be great.

Any way to decompile .dll to .lua ?

I recently found a dll that was written in lua, but I have no idea to decompile it to readable source code or simmilar, I tried using IDA but I don't know anything about binary or hex codes so thats a no for me, I only found ways to compile lua code to executable .dll or .exe, but I want to decompile it from the alredy compiled code, is there a way to reverse engineer the .dll file?. I read that maybe lua code is compiled in C++

What programms do you recommend to decompile the dll with? (already tried dnSpy, but it doesnt work with lua)

Is there any way to make the .dll readable or useful? (making it runnable, readable or editable in .lua)



I appreciate any help or thoughts.

Is there a guide on installing luarocks for windows for a complete beginner?

I've been programming with lua for about 2 months now, I learned a lot and its my first language. Basically, I don't know anything about programming and I wanna get some extensions for lua, however, every installation guide for luarocks in windows is extremely complex and features incomprehensible terms for someone like me, I don't have any of the tools that I need and every guide mentions different tools that I dont wanna get in fear of polluting my new pc. Can someone who got it to work on their machine give me a short guide or direction on how to do it?

Lua 1 Con : 1 Pro

Hello! I started thinking about different programming languages, and their Pros and Cons (in general, not compared to each other). Each serious language has their advantages & disadvantages. I try to think about this in this format: I think of 1 Pro, something I really like about the language, and then think of 1 Con of the language, related or not to the Pro. I ask yall, Lua community, what do you think is one pro and one con of Lua as a language. I will begin:

Pro: Ik some people disagree, but I love objects being tables in Lua. It fits very well in the noscripting nature of Lua, as it's very easy to operate.

Con: I think that lack of arrays/lists is a bit annoying, and something like `array.append(...)` looks much cleaner than `array[#array+1\]=...`

Pro: I love the `:` operator, it's a nice distinguish between "non-static" and "static" function access.

Con: I feel like Lua's syntax is too simplistic. Ik it's one of the selling points, but lack of simple `+=` operators is... annoying and makes clean beautiful Lua look less clean. Ik it's hard to implement in the current parser, but it would be nice to have that.

Is pairs() compiled in luajit?

Can't find a reliable source about this. As I remember correctly in luajit 2.0 it can't be compiled and used in interpreter mode. What is the current state of pairs() in latest luajit?

Finding better syntax : conditional statement

[ ideal \]

if temp_id == ['57', '61', '62'] then

[ my code \]

if temp_id == '57' or temp_id == '62' or temp_id == '63' then



Can I make this better?

Finding better syntax : string.match

Note that, my IDE doesn't support return value of Boolean but only String.

< ideal >
if string.match(self.Entity.CurrentMapName, 'idle|proklisi') == then

but above code doesn't work due to the limited support by IDE
so I have to use like this :

if string.match(self.Entity.CurrentMapName, 'idle') = 'idel' or ~ ... then

To deal with this, is there a better idea to do this? such as..

if string.match(self.Entity.CurrentMapName, 'idle|proklisi') == ('idle' or 'proklisi') then

luarocks interpreter

I tried using luarocks but since I use lua5.1 I got this error

Error: Lua 5.4 interpreter not found at C:\Program Files\to\lua

Please set your Lua interpreter with:

luarocks --local config variables.LUA <d:\path\lua.exe>

I tried these

luarocks config variables.LUA <C:\Program Files\lua\lua5.1.exe>

luarocks config variables.LUA "C:\Program Files\lua\lua.exe"

and many more

whenever i type luarocks config variables.LUA

Error: Unknown entry LUA

Help for the structure

Hi!

For a project, I need to create Lua noscript to communicate with an haxe application. However, I struggle heavily to make the IDE for Lua work with classes. The class definitions are not shared with the instances and it makes coding a pain.

Is there a better way or text-editor to make the development easier?

Thank you!

I manage to embed lua vm to my project!

Hey Lua community! I wanted to share a project I've been working on called RapidForge, it platform for building internal apps, automating tasks and creating web pages. Everything comes with a single binary and I manage to embed Lua VM into RapidForge. Big thanks to the Cosmopolitan project for making this possible!

With RapidForge, you can easily set up webhooks, schedule periodic tasks, and implement custom business logic using Lua. The platform takes care of the boilerplate for you, parsing request data automatically and making it available as environment variables (I’m planning to improve this further).

Lua is amazing language, I think its also a perfect language to experiment its small but performant and very easy to learn.
