What happens to the client-side LUA when you retry to a server? - Developers

Does anyone know? Is it reset? Does it reload? Does it just refresh? Needed for an add-on. Thanks

Wouldn't it be reset? It's the same thing as d/c

Doesn't retry disconnect and then reconnect instantly? I think that's why when you try to retry and people are queued, you might be kicked because server is full because they took your spot.

Current state is destroyed and a new one is created.

Well, i'm pretty sure that [U]each time you change CS files on server, they're re-sent to the client[/U]. So, if you're asking if you have to re-connect after each CS code change, the answer is [I]No[/I].

If it's a new file; you need to edit an old file on the same realm, and then edit the new file at least once for it to transfer and execute.

I guess, garry didn't hook file update on Linux, so on Linux files have to be updated manually.

And by updated manually; you can create your own concommand and hook system. When I rewrote the auto-refresh system for my game-mode to only reload the file which was changed, plus the data which is cleared on autorefresh such as GM, timed events and timers, I figured it out that it's sometimes easier just to call a console command. If you set up a recursive loader in a concommand, it won't matter too much the load order after it's been loaded once; albeit better to preserve depending on how it's coded. Loose code = preserve. Helper-functions and classes = egal. Let me know if you need help with that, feel free to shoot me a pm.

Alright, thanks guys. Big help. Solved

If i need to reload gamemode script i just do: lua_run GM = {} lua_openscript init.lua lua_run GAMEMODE = GM -- may also be table.Copy( GAMEMODE, GM ) for SWEPs and SENTs you can just use weapon.Register/scripted_ents.Register to update them so your script is useless. Oh, also, did you copyright'd your "recursive loader in a concommand" already?

Nobody cares if the script loads in 0.5ms or 0.499999999999999(9)ms and if you made a 'refresher' for your own gamemde - well, good for you, but stop telling us about it each time you have opportunity to mention it..

Cool story Acecool, no one cares. Congratulations in gaining a marginal performance gain, complicating your code, and of course, flaunting an insignificant action that has stupid written all over it.
