Store common LUA functions in common 'LUA-DLL' ??

[ChristianH]

Hi,

I have three autoruns that have some common functions (lua script). Currently the same code is contained in all three autorun Projects. If I make a change in one Project I have to update the other two projects too.
I want to create a lua library that contains all the common used functions and invoke this from all three autorun projects.
Is this possible? How can I do this?

Thanks

You could make a module and simply 'require' the file but its perhaps easier just to use Luac to convert your script to byte-code and 'require' it but you can just as easy require the .lua file.

Hi,
thanks for your help!
Can I create the lua file with a simple Texteditor and Change the fileending to *.lua?
Can I 'require' more than one *.lua files?
Do I have something to consider?
Thanks
Christian

Yes just save the .txt as .lus but if you are just using a .lua you dont need to require it just place it in the 'Scripts' folder and it will load automatically.
