Topic: Organization

I have a many questions as I am new to Maratis. When I first launched Maratis it was very simple to use and very user friendly. But there are some things I am unable to understand.

First of all I want to know if im able to orgnize my scripts by having each script run a certain function or statement. I cant figure out how to add two different scripts into the same scene.

If it is not possible to do so, can you run a script from a certain location on your computer?


I used Lua in a previous game engine and it was very much updated due to it have been up since 2006. Although that is not a problem on Maratis since you can script your own Lua functions using C++ which is quite resourceful. I do not know C++ and wat version of C++ Maratis3D uses. I've only scripted in Lua and Java so a link to a wiki would be very appreciated.


My last question is defining variables in Lua. That way I used to do it was by simply typing in
ThisBoolValue = true
CakeNumber = 5
StringsAreEpi =

Re: Organization

StringsAreEpic = "Hello World"
Woops maxed out the characters there.

P.S.
Is there a console/Output I could use to check for errors?

Hi and welcome,

first, to use multiple lua scripts, you can use "dofile("customFunctions.lua")" to include other script.

To check error if you are on windows there is a console window opening with Maratis,
if you are on mac or linux, launch Maratis from a command line.

Variables are the standard lua variables, like you used to do before.
