First we must download ScriptHook, and copy the file to the GTA folder, then we must download the LuaScript file and copy that too, to the GTA folder Dobb's Journal, Lua's creators also state that LISP and Scheme with their single, ubiquitous data structure mechanism (the list) were a major influence on their decision to develop the table as the primary data structure of Lua.Ī few simple steps to get up and running. Lua syntax for control structures was mostly borrowed from Modula (if, while, repeat/until), but also had taken influence from CLU (multiple assignments and multiple returns from function calls, as a simpler alternative to reference parameters or explicit pointers), C++ ("neat idea of allowing a local variable to be declared only where we need it"), SNOBOL and AWK (associative arrays). Lua 1.0 was designed in such a way that its object constructors, being then slightly different from the current light and flexible style, incorporated the data-description syntax of SOL (hence the name Lua – sol is Portuguese for sun lua is moon). Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. Like most names, it should be written in lower case with an initial capital, that is, "Lua". More specifically, "Lua" is a name, the name of the Earth's moon and the name of the language. As such, it is neither an acronym nor an abbreviation, but a noun. "Lua" (pronounced LOO-ah) means "Moon" in Portuguese. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.Īlong with the history, (if that hasn't won you over yet) the name Lua, also has a rich story as it is stated on the offical page:

This makes setting up and working with Lua in GTA V very easy and a great choice for someone wanting to get their feet wet with minimal invested time and learning curve.įor the geek, Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. It feels more like Python, than say Java or C itself and has no dependancies. Lua came from this effort, as a scripting language over C, Lua is very easy to work with. To expand past C, (which they already had) they would have to develop their own higher level languages themselves. It is born from limtations posed on engineers in Brazil, import laws did not allow them to use intellectual property from other countries. Lua has an interesting history as a language.

#Script hook v alternative mod#

Using Lua, our stack now looks like this, and adding a mod is as simple as saving your script in the /addons folder! We will do this using Lua, a relatively simple declarative laungauge written in ANSI C which makes working with GTA natives very straight forward and very "English like" for those more curious than die-hard hackers. Instead of treading up the steep hill we can take an much easier path and be up and running within 10 mins just by copying a few simple flies into the GTA folder. This getting started guide is with you in mind. Net and C# up and running takes a bit more than most may have the time/desire to edure early on. NET and C#, we may see what the future looks like for modding. So far, from what we know about ScriptHook, to make a mod you would have to write C++ (DLL) and complie down to. List of native functions can be found here: Lua Having access to these functions, their names, argument types and descriptions is part of the fun to discover and use as you grow and learn the game API. These are the actual functions the Rockstar devs use in the game code. After some time, the inital scripthook devs published a long list of all known "native" functions.

This model of developement requires a lot of trial and error early on as the native functions are being discovered and documented.
