i needed a way to execute outside progs from within a
lua scipt.... but without holding up the script till the prog
has finished running.
i played around with coroutine in lua5 to no avail... so
i decided to make a quick little command line prog to
execute, what i tell it to execute... so it doesn't hold up
the script. (in lua5/bcdc, the whole client is held up) i
also added a msgbox command, so you can make it do
msgboxes that don't hold up ptokax.
on a side note:
anyone know how to do these things from within a lua
script??? as mentioned before, "coroutine" would be
the way, and it's only a lua 5 function. (though i have
seen a lua5 version of pto floating around :D :D :D :D
:D can't wait to test it out)
at any rate.. here is the prog i made to use in the mean
time: ScriptTool.rar (http://www.stcycles.com/hate/scripts/ScriptTool.rar)
(aka: executeCrap()) :p @ ??????Hawk??????
just thought i'd post it in case somone can find a use for
it... (source files availible on request)
