Lua Version And Changes

The Lua interpreter shipped with the server is version 5.4. Reference: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/#index

Small changes to the built-in Lua functions were made for improved development experience:

  • tostring will format tables.
  • print, warn, and printerr can display tables.
  • warn will output yellow text to stdout.
  • printerr will output red text to stdout.

Note: If you want to use io or interact with other programs see Async. While Lua built-ins can be used they are blocking and can cause server hiccups.
