Key swapping Lua Scripts for 9 keys (PRTSC - PGDN)

Key swapping Lua Scripts for 9 keys (PRTSC - PGDN) to be NumPad keys (1 - 9) instead.

don't think I ever use these keys unless for something very specific but it can change back with another profile.

Is there anyone who can write this seeing as I have no clue to write noscripts at all. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to use a function this way?

My case is very specific:

The api i use doesnt have a native checkbox, slider etc(gui) so i made one on my own, i ran out of locals to use

Checkbox("Name", "Something", x, y)

Is there any way to something like

if Controls"Something" then
otherlua.function
end


Seeing as my noscript on the other lua runs all the time? Is there any way to like call the entire noscript?

Learn Lua with EdgeTX api environment

Hi, I want to practice Lua writing EdgeTX noscripts for FPV drone telemetry. I have found a pretty decent documentation for edge tx and Lua . In order to acomplish my task I need to establish a communication with flight controller on my drone wich has betaflight firmware (see MSP communication) . There is a nice lua noscript for communication with betaflight (see here) but for me it is hard to understand how it comminicates with betaflight on byte level. Do you have any small easy to understand examples to dive into it ? Thank you

Is there a good way of generating 2D graphics without a game engine?

I want to create something like desmos but only for simple functions (ax\^2 + bx + c). I have created the function that finds the y values for many given x values so the function can be drawn. This is where I have encountered a problem, I don’t know how to generate such graphics. I have tried searching for something but all I found was game engine tutorials that incorporate Lua and not methods of displaying graphics without an engine, as for my application, I find it unnecessary.

Getting error info from custom error handler and xpcall

I’m using xpcall and want to know how to get error info from a custom error handler function.

Function error_handler()
Print(debug.traceback)
End

If I use

err, ok = xpcall(func, error_handler)

I lose the error message itself but I get the trace.

If I use

err, ok = xpcall(func, debug.traceback)

I get the error message and the trace when I print err.

Botting in lua

Hello, I was wondering can I create a bot for a game in lua?
By "bot" I mean reading screen, moving mouse and simulating keyboard and mouse input.
I already tried doing this in python, but after spending an entire day trying to install and then debug python libraries I gave up.
I'm open on learning new things.

How do i split my lua?

So as i want to split my lua, regardless of how necessary it is to split it, i want to split it to learn how to do this, my problem is that my lua consists of a menu entirely self coded due to the api im working in and due to this:

\- I want to split the lua into multiple pieces i can use the same way

My problem:

\- Every single part of the lua is linked to the menu

For example:

local current_time = Controls["TimeDisplay"] and string.format("Time: %s ", os.date("%H:%M:%S")) or ""

How do i split this part of the code into another lua, the controls is a local and TimeDisplay is a variable inside a checkbox structured like this:
`Checkbox("Show Time", "TimeDisplay", posX, posY)`

Trying to add a HTTP POST to existing code. HTTP not found. Socket.lua not found

First off I have never worked with LUA before. I am modifying an existing application. The game is IKEMEN GO. IKEMEN GO . All I have to do is add in a HTTP POST. That is it. I found the spot where I need to add the code. I added the code and the problems started. From my understanding LUA doesn't come with anything for HTTP and has to be added / installed / complied (not sure what to call it).

I am on Windows 10 using VSCode with LUA extension.

I reached out to the IKEMEN group and was told it was beyond scope but any library for LUA 5.1 will work. I assume there is a HTTP library???? I did not install anything dealing with LUA. The game comes with a CMD file. I click the file everything works. There are some noscripts to run beforehand but my understanding those are for GO and not LUA.

I downloaded LUA 5.1 and installed it (I think so, I have source code and binaries). After searching around I found some HTTP.lua files on the net. They didn't seem to work with what I have. I then found I could run luarocks install HTTP or maybe it was luahttp, I can't remember. That didn't work. I don't remember the errors but I gave up on it a few days ago. I then found luarocks install luasocket. Here are the errors I got.

I looked up and it looks like msys64 isn't installed correctly. I uninstalled it and installed it again and got the same errors. I am out of ideas. This should have been a few simple lines of code and is turning into a multiday nightmare.

In my Lua 5.1 folder I have a socket folder and http.lua and a few other files. Although socket.lua requires socket.core which I do not have. Thanks for any help.

Someone teach me this

Alright, so I’ve been coding for this game called Ark: Survival Evolved using Beacon. It’s not really heavy coding or anything, but I’ve been able to make a decent amount of money from it. The thing is, Ark is dying pretty fast, and I feel like there are better opportunities out there.

I’ve done some research and talked to a few people, and they all suggested switching over to Roblox. Apparently, it’s huge right now. Roblox uses Roblox Studio, and the coding language is Lua.

So here I am, trying to figure out how to get started or even how to get better at this. If anyone can help point me in the right direction, that’d be awesome.
