Lua scripting tools

Post by zuzuf » Sat Jun 06, 2009 3:56 pm

Ok, I've added some console commands to allow debugging Lua scripts (mission scripts and AIs only, it's impossible to deal with unit scripts the same way).
So all Lua debugging commands starts with the keyword lua:
  • lua debug mission - enter in mission mode (all commands used after this one affect mission script)
  • lua debug AI n - enter in AI debugging mode, all commands after this one will affect Lua scripts used by player n as its AI if any (if none, then following commands won't do anything).
  • lua stop - stops the thread
  • lua resume - resume the thread
  • lua kill - kills the thread (be careful with this)
  • lua crash - basically stops the thread for debugging (when a thread crashes, it remains in that state)
  • lua continue - uncrashes the thread ... is likely not to work if it has really crashed
  • lua load scripts/*/my_script.lua - loads the given lua script (kills and replace current running script if any)
  • lua run my lua command - runs some Lua code inside the LuaThread virtual machine, so you can do things like : lua run logmsg(my_bugged_variable)
Note that now you can type ')' in the console, it wasn't possible on some platforms with some keyboard configs, but now you have to clear your console input line before hiding it.
