Lua function

[Sergio_S]

Hello.

I need to use the String.Format() Lua function in my AMS app code.

Will it work like a built-in function or it is necessary to have this function added first to the Project's Global Function area?

Is that valid for all Lua functions?

Thanks.

Everything in Lua 5.1 works.

but the lua version would not be String.Format it would be string.format() AMS functions are Xxxx.Xxxx and lua don't use caps at the begin of there functions in there native functions far as I am lead to believe.

Everything in Lua 5.1 works.

So, I understand that it is not necessary to include Lua functions in the Globals area, is it correct?

Everything is already present in global:

Thank you, Shrek. Years using AMS and I did not know that Lua functions other than those said built-in were also included.
Thanks a lot.

AMS is built on Lua Scripting so it includes it

If so (and it is supposed to be true), why does IndigoRose not include all Lua functions as "built-in" in the Actions list?

Probably because their action dialog provides documentation on the functions, and they do not document the native Lua functions. You can look at the manual and PIL on lua.org - a lot of information over there!
