A question about Lua
Author
Hi,
I have a question about Lua. I am using it for scripting in an engine I am programming in C++. Is there any way to make Lua pause during it''s processing and wait for a certain command to begin again? If you''d know, please let me know. Thank you.
Well, from my experiences with Lua, scripts can be loaded into memory and allowed to sit.
For instance.. I wrote a program that created windows and buttons (with click functions) that used Lua.
Button functions were written in Lua, and thus only called when a button was clicked.
Could always allow your engine users to write C stub functions that could call the defined LUA functions..
*shrugs* Im probably way off topic anyway =P
edit: typo :/

There''s a thread here in the scripting forum about this.
Hint: Lua 5 plus coroutines will help you out.
