so this is basicly [lua]CompileString(file.Read("path"),"somename)[/lua]

Oh and will this be available in the menustate?

[|FlapJack|]

I'd assume so, pretty much

[lua]local luafunc = CompileFile("data/whatever.txt")

luafunc()[/lua]

I'm assuming it works as per the [url=http://bbservers.co.uk/gmodbt/view.php?id=4]request[/url]. As using include but compiling a file instead.

Whats the point ? I suppose it would be faster if you compile the file at the start and run it atm you need it. But i dont see any use for that.

You could run it in a limited environment.

No, it reads Lua files from the Lua folder, not normal saved Lua files.

"../" big difference...

But still, will this be available in the menustate?

[garry]

There's a huge difference between loading from lua path and adding ../ infront of everything.
