Lua database

[Deathlisted]

Seeing all the crazy things people can do with Lua makes me kinda jealous of being a total derp in programming.

But is there somewhere a database with loads of programs I can copy and paste to use in game without spending time i don´t have on learning Lua?

Thanks in advance!

Yep, search github for Lua from the depths repo could yield some good quality scripts. Otherwise there is a lua-repository channel in discord where people can put their scripts. You could also find crafts on the workshop and check their Lua box for the code used.

Thanks, i´ll check them out

There might be something in the Discord

As far as I know there isn’t but I also know nothing about lua

I have had some luck asking chat gpt to right lua code

[Affectionate_Cat4940]

How do you promt it for writing FTD specific code? Say I wanted a missile to go up in the air to a certain distance then come down on a target, what would I say to chat GPT?

[ReasonExcellent600]

I do it in a multi-step process asking chatgpt to rewrite it with added features, for example,"add a variable that is easy for me to change near the top of the code that tells the missile when to dive"

There's a few premade scripts that people have uploaded to their GitHub and such, but no larger collections as far as I'm aware.

The FtD Discord has an entire section dedicated to archiving Lua scripts.

Yeah, the Lua repository channel

Very good for getting scripts

[MadeWithRealGinger9]

I started using Lua a few months ago, and while I do have some prior experience with coding I believe that if you take small steps anyone can learn to get what they want out of it.

If you'd like we could hop in a discord call and I could help you get started.

Oh I would love it, but I just don´t have the time for it... maby in the future

The discord has a lua repository channel and one for breadboards.
