Details
Can be used to run commands as though were directly in a Lua console, if the first statement is not engine command, variable or alias in the 'lua' context.
While the 'lua' context has the ability to hold variables and aliases, they are assignable as the Lua context has no 'alias', 'set' or 'var' type commands added to the context.
Examples
Default values
Below, 'exit' is a 'lua' context command which simply switches to the 'global' context. It is not run in a Lua runtime.
context lua
print(1 + 2)
exit
Notes
- While 'lua_edit' is intended make console Lua commands easy to run, can allow scripts and other types of macros to avoid lots of situations where complex logic would otherwise be required, by simply switching to the 'lua' context and then running a series of single line lua chunks.
