Title: problem with loading files
Post by: blackwings on 07 May, 2005, 16:05:44

I have a problem with using/loading files in lua. I have tried to use assert, dofile and readfrom etc which I have seen in other scripts, but failed to get it to work.

So can anyone help me, what should I do to get a seperate .lua file in a sub folder to be loaded with a script, which contains a lua function?

Like the lua file is in ../scripts/others/extra.lua

with a contents of a lua function like this for example =

Code Select

function example(user,data)
	user:SendData(Bot, "example")
end

Code Select

dofile("others/extra.lua")

that should work, :)

but only if the code is something like this:

Code Select

[COLOR=red]Bot=frmHubGetHubBotName()[/COLOR] 

function example(user,data)

user:SendData(Bot, "example")
end

hmm, so you mean with the "Bot=frmHubGetHubBotName()", that I need to make the extra.lua like a stand alone script? Hmm, to bad, I thought I could just put a function in a seperate file and it would work as good as if it was in the main lua file :(

Anyway, thanx for your help, I will try this later today :)

or u can try it like this example::

Code Select

function NewUserConnected(user)
dofile("test2.lua")
Bot=frmHub:GetHubBotName() 
example(user,data)
end

and the lua function file ::

Code Select

function example(user,data)
user:SendData(Bot, "example")
end

NO you dont need to make them stand alone...

eg.. you could have all functions in one file..

user commands in another ..

and tables in another .

and assert all three in the main lua file..
