What if Lua would work with spells aswell ?

[The-Eradicator]

No. C++ is direct way. Lua is made through a C++ system. How is fixing spells with Lua logical?

How is doing anything in Lua logical?

Depends on the project really, but yeah imo people should learn C++. Doing stuff in Lua looks lazy and they're always whining about it not having enough functions. WELL THEN LEARN C++ IT HAS EVERYTHING. cya

While, this is possible and actually not really that hard, it is completely pointless, the very thought of Lua is pointless. The only reason i can even understand it, is because its a great stepping stone into the world of scripting and programming. Lua is hard on the server, to run, though it doesn't seem like it, if you compare a server with 100 Lua scripts to one with 0, there will be a huge difference. Lua is already overly used enough, simply giving more features would turn everyones complaints of crappy private servers, into complains of shitty ones. Lua is one of the most unnecessary things in emulation. Though it is a great way to learn, people have started to depend on it and forget about the langauge that created it C++, all the complaints of lack of functionality, are they're own fault, if they really wanted it that bad, they'd go learn C++ and add their own functionality but obviously no one will do that. This was a seemingly good idea i'll give it that, for those that don't know the effects of Lua atleast. The only positive of lua is basic scripting capabilities. It lags your server, badly. While C++ will hardly harm the performance rate in comparison, and it offers much more advanced capabilities.

If someone really wanted this that bad they would make it, but chances of any emulator being stupid enough to implement are very slim

Simple, Lua is good for newbies to learn the basic aspects of scripting. The first language i ever learned was Lua and now, i know C++, C# and VB.net and more i just really don't wanna list them all. The point is thats a great starter for people. Don't bash on it, chances are if you started programming and scripting with emulation, you didn't jump straight into C++, you used lua

No.

For example mages Mirror Image spell.
That could be fixed with Lua if it were spell compatible.

Nope, you have to send a packet to create the mirror clones, which afaik, isn't supported.
