This is my first proper try at lua, and i think i fully understand how it works now.
This is a RPG style msg box that reads its text from an external source (a lua file) that comes with the download.
Now don't just disregard lua.. I think used in the correct way lua can be extreamly powerfull. Esspecialy if you making a level editor, mainly because if you want to create an event in a level editor all you have to do is link it with a lua file and mmf will cause events on the functions called from the lua file.
The Underside by "The Podunkian" is a very flexable game, and all its cutscenes/dialogue/pick-ups and triggers are scripted in lua. Its not hard to learn and i think it makes life easyer for a clicker (yes even easyer). It means not haveing to recomplie your game everytime you want to make a tiny change or add to your story.
Anyway rather than me explaining how it works take a look =
OH! and if you already know lua any help would be great as i only learnt it a couple of days ago. (If iv'e over coded)
Thank guy's! i'd like to know what people think of useing lua, coz' im sure some clickers are against it, or just can't be botherd, just voice your opinions yeah!
*IMPORTANT UPDATE*
Now you can put a face picture with each msg
Now the text writes out char by char (hold return to speed up)
Now by putting a "|" in your string it will pause the text for 1 second.
