Yes, and everything revolves around you couchy. Just because you lack the intelligence to learn lua doesn't mean everyone else does.

I never said I did, it was my personal opinion. Plus, I already said I was going to learn it, so that proves you wrong again.

Lua is pretty much the simplest scripting language besides HTML, just about anybody can pick it up in a few hours.


Hmm.. Thanks... Maybe I can use this for Gmod... But not CC.

No thanks. I like how it is.

And last, please let's not start a flame war.

For anyone wanting to see why Lua in a 2D game would be useful, just check out one of the many Lua-powered mods for Gusanos and compare them to the original game.

Gusanos' typical weapon scripts are similar to CC's, and although people like amrobotics push the limit and bring us really creative mods, there's a lot of potential to be had if a more powerful scripting system like Lua was implemented.

I think that it would probably be sorta unnecessary. CC is based on real life physics, if something isn't directly physically possible, then it's not in the game.

Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, the final CC build will probably be unmoddable.

Data would be shooting himself in the foot. Why would it be unmoddable?

I dunno, it never said anywhere that it wouldn't be unmoddable.

Watch, Data is really going to surprise us with the Final build. Probably going to be no script at all and fit it into one 10kb file like kkrieger.

LUA will not be put into CC for many, many reasons. Mostly because the game is pretty much built from scratch with it's own unique language, and also because Data isn't going to convert all this work just so that you don't have to learn a new language. LUA is built for 3D games anyways.

Lua isn't made for anything specific, you could use it with Apache HTTP Server if you wanted.

Heck, you could make your own HTTP server with Lua and a sockets module.
Lua is designed to be dynamic and can be used in almost anything.

We have seriously considered LUA support, and it's still not off the table. It could be integrated with the current system and wouldn't replace it. It would, however, make it possible to affect behavior a lot more powerfully than now.

Perhaps we'll rewrite the AI system to take make use of it, and expand from there...

Awesome. :D

Sorry for bumping.

With Lua you have to use all these 'callfunctions', 'ends' and ♥♥♥♥ like that that i don't understand.

Holy ♥♥♥♥.

Do some people seriously think that the current code is hard?
With enough imagination you can make anything with it if you combine the right stuff and you know how they work. Xera, pack your stuff and take that lua with you.

Before I moddded: I was scared of the code. Seriously. I had no idea what any of it meant.
When I was modding: I made mistakes, but it was easy!
After I modded: It didn't get much attention.. Still, It was fun to make.

You can't understand something simple like:

Code:
player = CurrentPlayer() --gets the current clone
alive = IsAlive(player) --checks if the current clone is alive
if(alive == true) then --if alive is true then
Kill(player) --kill the clone
end --close the 'if'

? lol.

I'm not saying I can't understand the current system but it's messy as hell. (No delimiters or parenthesis)

Where can you possibly shove that in CC?
If player is alive then he is alive, if he is dead he is dead
There is no need for a variable to prove that

Well... LUA could be used for Campaigns :). Like making infinite spawns :P. Clean a area from Land. (To prevent blockage)

while i != 1
Spawn("Green Clone",500,1000)
Wait(1000)
end

:P
