How to install Lua on macOS 14?

I am extremely interested into learning Lua, but I prefer using macOS. Is there any way to install Lua on a MacBook? By the way, what's the most recommended IDE for Lua?

Help with Removing the Dot in Modern X Progress Bar (Lua Extension for MPV)

Help with Removing the Dot in Modern X Progress Bar (Lua Extension for MPV)

Hi everyone!

I’m using the ModernX interface for MPV, which is Lua-based. However, I’m trying to remove a dot in the progress bar that I find distracting. Does anyone know how to adjust this in the Lua code?

I Use an older version of this so please download this from the google drive.

Sorry for the bother i cant upload it form here, i promise it is not a virus just a Lua. Google can scan it.

You can check with virus total too. it is safe

However this is the github for this extension it self

https://github.com/zydezu/ModernX/blob/main/modernx.lua

Would really appreciate any insights from those familiar with tweaking Lua for MPV!

Thanks in advance!

Bug Fixing for an OBS timer?

I'm trying to create a timer counter for OBS paired with a distance counter (Think "I walked 10 feet in 10 minutes".
What's odd is that it's working entirely for my OBS... And not anyone else??
I can run it well on my computer but if anyone else tries it, it either crashes their OBS, gives them a very strange number, or keeps counting without correctly adding the distance interval.
I've been trying to fix it for hours, but it's hard to debug when I can't seem to test it on my own computer. I'm very tired and there's a time limit to it, so I can't keep running random trials and asking my friends to test it. Could someone review my code and pinpoint why it may be continuing to count the time without adding distance when prompted?

obs = obslua

distance = 0

time_elapsed = 0

interval = 9 * 60

distance_increment = 1

timer_started = false

last_time = 0

text_source_name = ""

timer_interval = 1000



function noscript_denoscription()

return "Increments a distance counter by a specified amount every set interval. Displays Time and Distance."

end



function noscript_properties()

local props = obs.obs_properties_create()

obs.obs_properties_add_int(props, "interval", "Interval (minutes)", 1, 1440, 1)

obs.obs_properties_add_int(props, "distance_increment", "Distance Increment", 1, 100, 1)

obs.obs_properties_add_text(props, "text_source", "Text Source Name", obs.OBS_TEXT_DEFAULT)

obs.obs_properties_add_button(props, "start_button", "Start", start_button)

obs.obs_properties_add_button(props, "stop_button", "Stop", stop_button)

obs.obs_properties_add_button(props, "reset_button", "Reset", reset_button)

return props

end



function noscript_update(settings)

interval = obs.obs_data_get_int(settings, "interval") * 60

distance_increment = obs.obs_data_get_int(settings, "distance_increment")

text_source_name = obs.obs_data_get_string(settings, "text_source")

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Interval set to: " .. interval .. " seconds")

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Distance increment set to: " .. distance_increment)

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Text source name: " .. text_source_name)

end



function start_button()

if not timer_started then

last_time = os.time()

obs.timer_add(timer_callback, timer_interval)

timer_started = true

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Timer started.")

else

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Timer already running.")

end

end



function stop_button()

if timer_started then

obs.timer_remove(timer_callback)

timer_started = false

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Timer stopped.")

else

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_WARNING, "Timer not running.")

end

end



function reset_button()

distance, time_elapsed = 0, 0

update_text_source()

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Distance and Time reset.")

end



function timer_callback()

if not timer_started then return end



local current_time = os.time()

local time_diff = current_time - last_time

last_time = current_time

time_elapsed = time_elapsed + time_diff



if time_elapsed >= interval then

distance = distance + distance_increment

time_elapsed = time_elapsed - interval

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_INFO, "Distance updated to: " .. distance .. " km after interval reached.")

end



update_text_source()

end



function update_text_source()

local source = obs.obs_get_source_by_name(text_source_name)

if source then

local settings = obs.obs_data_create()

local minutes, seconds = math.floor(time_elapsed / 60), time_elapsed % 60

local time_string = string.format("Time: %d:%02d\nDistance: %d km", minutes, seconds, distance)

obs.obs_data_set_string(settings, "text", time_string)

obs.obs_source_update(source, settings)

obs.obs_data_release(settings)

obs.obs_source_release(source)

else

obs.noscript_log(obs.LOG_WARNING, "Text source not found.")

end

Lua Pandoc Citation Modifier

I'm trying to create a lua noscript that does the following with pandoc and its internal citeproc:

The current input is: \`(MPD; \[@Somereference2020 noparens\])\`

The desired output is: \`(MPD; Somereference, 2020)\` with the correct internal link to citeproc references.

I'm close, but I can't seem to wrangle removing the preceding space before \`noparens\` on the output.

Current output is: \`(MPD; Somereference, 2020 )\`

Note the space after the year which I've been able to debug to being the preceding space before the \`noparens\` (based on the debug output with carrots).

Thanks in advance to the Lua ninja ... Here's the code

function Cite(cite)
for i, citation in ipairs(cite.citations) do
if citation.suffix and pandoc.utils.stringify(citation.suffix):match("noparens") then
-- Debugging: Print the original suffix
print("Original suffix:", pandoc.utils.stringify(citation.suffix))

-- Remove 'noparens' from the suffix
local new_suffix = pandoc.List{}
for _, item in ipairs(citation.suffix) do
if item.t == "Str" then
-- Remove 'noparens' and trim spaces/commas
item.text = item.text:gsub("noparens", ""):gsub("^%s*,%s*", ""):gsub("%s*,%s*$", "")
if item.text ~= "" then
new_suffix:insert(item)
end
else
new_suffix:insert(item)
end
end
citation.suffix = new_suffix

-- Debugging: Print the modified suffix
print("Modified suffix:", pandoc.utils.stringify(citation.suffix))

-- Debugging: Print the original content
print("Original content:", pandoc.utils.stringify(cite.content))

-- Remove 'noparens' and unnecessary parentheses from the content
local new_content = pandoc.List{}
for _, item in ipairs(cite.content) do
if item.t == "Str" then
-- Remove 'noparens' and parentheses
item.text = item.text:gsub("noparens", ""):gsub("%(", ""):gsub("%)", ""):gsub("^%s*,%s*", ""):gsub("%s*,%s*$", "")
end
if item.text ~= "" then
new_content:insert(item)
end
end
cite.content = new_content

-- Debugging: Print the modified content
print("Modified citation: ^" .. pandoc.utils.stringify(cite) .. "^")

return cite
end
end
end

(Garry's Mod) Make noscripted entity always grabbable with Gravity Gun

I'm writing a noscripted entity and need it to be always grabbable with the gravity gun. I tried using the GravGunPickupAllowed entity hook for that, but that didn't work. It can be picked up when the gravity gun is supercharged, presumably because it has a higher weight limit, but I need the entity to be able to be picked up by the regular gravity gun without changing the entity's weight. Is there any way I could do such a thing?

I genuinely have no idea what I am doing wrong. Having an experience programming in Java, C, Python, Lua seems easy, but I really can't call it properly or make it return a value.

LuaLS annotation: class' cannot have multiple values; {Metric,module}

Hello everyone.

I am writing some internal lua modules, I am trying to annotate it correctly (using LLS standard) as there are various classes and modules but I keep having an error of this type :

ldoc --lls -a -d docs/lua/src/
lua/src/prometheus/metric.lua:14: ?: 'class' cannot have multiple values; {Metric,module}

My IDE (Pycharm) is happy with it however and resolves everything without any issue (with annotation based autocompletion)

In this prometheus/ folder, I have my init.lua file that has the following annotation on top

--- @module prometheus
local prometheus = {}

require("prometheus.metric")

...

In the same folder, I have the metric.lua file that contains the following one

--- A Metric
--- @class Metric
--- @field name string the name of the metric
--- @field value number the value of the metric
--- @field labels table the labels of the metric
Metric = {}

...

I don't understand how there conflict as they are on different files ? I found other example of lua project doing this even on the same file and not having any kind of conflicts.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks
