Lua in SAMP

Introduction

This plugin, as the name suggests, makes possible the use of Lua in SA:MP Servers, which is known by its easy syntax and the various possibilities to do incredible things on it.

So, how can i create plugin for lua? It's easy to do.Download "l_base" Plugin Development Kit.And write your own plugin:
Pre-coming plugins: ml_mysql 5.0 <transported from MTA-MYSQL> (Not pre-comes on Linux)


Kalcor and I do not recommend the use of this plugin for public servers, this is just an experiment.

Requirements

• Microsoft Windows 9x/NT 5.0+, Linux
• SA:MP Server 0.3e

Speed

In strings 5x faster, In booleans 22x faster than pawn.

Changes from Pawn

• We currently include SA-MP Constants.
• We have added two event: onLoad, onUnload
  

• The SetTimerEx function was removed and in its place we've added only SetTimer with optional parameters at the end:
  • • Timer.set(function, interval, repeat, ...)
      • Remember that the "function" parameter isn't a string
      • You don't have to use the parameters string list anymore
      • Auto start
    • Timer.create(function, interval, repeat, ...)
      • Remember that the "function" parameter isn't a string
      • You don't have to use the parameters string list anymore
      • Create but pause
    • Timer : start()
      • Start the timer (Timer.set auto call this)
    • Timer : stop()
      • Stop timer, stop thread reset repeated count
    • Timer : pause()
      • Pause thread, pause timer, store repeat count
    • Timer : isPaused()
      • Is paused
    • Timer : isStopped()
      • Is stopped

  • Functions with referenced string parameters in Pawn have been changed to return a string, they are:
  • GetPlayerName
  • GetWeaponName
  • GetPlayerIp
  • etc...
    

  • Functions with referenced float parameters in Pawn have been changed in Lua, they are:
    • GetVehicleRotationQuat: returns w,x,y,z ( Lua allows multiple return )
    • All these functions return a float value:
      • GetPlayerFacingAngle
      • GetVehicleZAngle
      • GetVehicleHealth
      • GetPlayerHealth
      • GetPlayerArmour

    • All these functions return a x,y,z
      • GetPlayerPos
      • GetVehiclePos
      • GetObjectPos
      • GetObjectRot
      • GetPlayerObjectPos
      • GetPlayerObjectRot
      • GetPlayerVelocity
      • GetVehicleVelocity
      • GetPlayerCameraPos
      • GetPlayerCameraFrontVector
      • GetPlayerCameraUpVector

• Added the RCON/console commands: start, stop and restart,
  loadplugin, unloadplugin, reloadplugin
  

Setting up
In README.txt (Open with Notepad++)

This project is now private for some reasons.I can put it when it come fully.(may be)


I will add LUA lessons to Tutorials category.
