Guide #2 native lua libraries, optimizations, speed of different functions etc
Guides #3 - #x will use GoS api only and show a bit more advanced stuff
Guides #x - #y will use Inspired_new.lua api to actually show how to write a simple champion script
Guide #1:
The basics:
Lection #1:
GET ****ING SUBLIME TEXT
Setup.exe
x64 Setup.exe

Lection #2:
Care: The following code is executed on https://repl.it/languages/lua
If you want it to work for GoS you either have to write
require("Inspired.lua")orprint = PrintChatat the top of your file
Since you actually want to store stuff you will have to use something called variables.
myVar1 = "Hello World!"This code assigns the string "Hello World!" to the variable called myVar1
What can we do with those variables?
myVar1 = "Hello World!" print(myVar1)This will print out the assigned value to the variable!
But what if we only want to print something under a certain circumstance?
myVar1 = "Hello World!"
myVar2 = 3
if myVar2 == 3 then
print(myVar1)
endConditions in lua have to go like this: "if .... then .... end"If myVar2 is equals 3 (double = is a conditional check!) then we execute the print function!
As you saw above there is a function called print and we call it with parentheses
But how do we define our own functions?
myVar1 = "Hello!"
function MyFunction1()
print(myVar1)
endNow we defined a function! If we execute this... nothing happens, why? We did not call it yet!But how do we call it?
myVar1 = "Hello!"
function MyFunction1()
print(myVar1)
end
MyFunction1()Now we called it and it printed myVar1!But why are functions useful?
function MyFunction1(var)
print(var * 3)
endAs you can see there is now something in the parentheses. This is a local variable that only exists in the function and can be used there!But why are functions useful? #2
function MyFunction1(var)
print(var * 3)
end
MyFunction1(1)
MyFunction1(2)
MyFunction1(3)
MyFunction1(4)
MyFunction1(5)As you can see after executing it we used the same function with different variables to get a different outcome but did not have to write print( var * 3 ) every single time.As you saw I just multiplied a number by 3, what other numeric operators does lua have?
a = 13 b = 2 print( a + b ) print( a - b ) print( a * b ) print( a / b ) print( a % b )Wow so much math!
Let's quickly move on to something else... strings!
text1 = "Hello" text2 = " " text3 = "World"Now we declared 3 text variables but we'd like to print them all at once
How we do that? We append them!
text1 = "Hello" text2 = " " text3 = "World" print(text1 .. text2 .. text3 .. "!")As you can see you can append variables containing strings together with other variables and strings with the .. operator
As we had previously we can make a condition under which we want to execute certain stuff, but how do we check if condition is not met?
a = 5
b = 10
if a == b then
print("a is equal to b!")
else
print("a is not equal to b!")
endAnd how do we check if a variable is simply higher or lower than another?a = 5
b = 10
if a ~= b then
print("a is not equals b")
end
if a > b then
print("a is bigger than b")
end
if a >= b then
print("a is bigger or equals b")
end
if a <= b then
print("a is smaller or equals b")
end
if a < b then
print("a is smaller than b")
end
Now we have more conditional checks, yey!But on certain conditions more than one gets print, what can we do?
a = 10
b = 5
if a < b then
print("a is smaller than b")
elseif a == b then
print("a is equals b")
elseif a > b then
print("a is bigger than b")
endNow only one of those cases will get printed!Now how do we add a comment to our code so it is easier to understand lateron?
a = 10 -- a is now 10
b = 5 -- b is now 5
if a == b then -- check for a equals b
print("a is b!") -- print
endWow so many comments! But too many is unreadable aswell..But what if i want to store a lot of data? Like, a lot a lot? Fear not! Lua has exactly the concept you need!
myTable1 = {1, 6, 2, 8, 3, 4, 9} -- define a table
print(myTable1[3]) -- this will print the 3rd entry in my table -> 2
print(myTable1[7]) -- this will print the 7th entry in my table -> 9
print(myTable1[10]) -- this does not exist in the table and therefore will not print anything!But what if i want to index the table for something else?myTable1 = { myIndex1 = "Hello!", myIndex2 = 1, myIndex3 = 42 }
print(myTable1.myIndex1)
print(myTable1.myIndex2)
print(myTable1.myIndex3)Can i store functions in tables? Of course! Can i save anything in tables? OF COURSE!myTable1 = { function1 = function() print("hi!") end, table1 = { 1, 2, 3}, string1 = "HHello!", number1 = 57 }
print(myTable1.function1())
print(myTable1.table1[1])
print(myTable1.table1[2])
print(myTable1.table1[3])
print(myTable1.string1)
print(myTable1.number1)But.. How do i automate this?You can iterate over tables!
myTable1 = { 1, 5, 2, 3, 8, 7, 5, 1, 4, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 }
for key = 1, #myTable1 do -- #myTable1 returns table length
value = myTable1[key]
print("Entry: "..key.." holds Value: "..value)
end
for key, value in ipairs(myTable1) do -- sorted
print("Entry: "..key.." holds Value: "..value)
end
for key, value in pairs(myTable1) do -- unsorted, faster
print("Entry: "..key.." holds Value: "..value)
endWhat other lua functions are there?assert(condtition, message) -- will print the message if condition is not met and end execution error(message) -- will print the message and end execution require(path) -- will load the lua file located at specified pathLesson #3:
