Title: How would I change my current environment in lua?
Post by: LuaTenshi on January 23, 2014, 05:11:34 PM

So when I was working on this...

I got a message saying this...

Quote

dont do it on g
do it on the current environment
make a new environment

So how exactly would I even start doing that, I am currently pretty tired so sorry if I am just being stupid but I have checked all of the following sites, and I am still not sure how to do it.

Any table is its own environment. This person is just saying to do it on a table. E.G., do plys, then you can go plys.Megiddo (or whatever).

It's right there in the manual (http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#2.2). ;)
