In a map with a trigger for when players go through a door, you can make hammer respond by playing a sound ( or trigger some other event ).
But is lua able to read that trigger as well? Running its own code with the maps trigger as a 'Hook'?
Only other way I can think of is an entity made with lua and a custom model to do OnTouch and those kind of events. But it's more time consuming.
Garry added some entity called lua_script or something like that for hammer
If you mean the lua_run entity yeah, but you'd have to be able to edit the map to make that work. You can't add an output to a non-scripted entity outside hammer.
Oh good idea, that sounds like it could work for many scenarios.
I assume you would just put what you want in the property name, and then the code in the value? Followed by some logic trigger of course.
[code]
@PointClass base(Targetname, Origin) = lua_run : "Runs Lua Code"
[
Code(string) : "Code" : "" : "Lua code to run when triggered"
input RunCode(void) : "Run Code that was defined in the entity"
input RunPassedCode(string) : "Run code that was passed as a variable"
]
[/code]
