I have decided to write an introduction into the basics of LUA Script; so that you can get a better understanding of how it works & how you can apply it within the Visionaire Studio™ editor, to further enhance your games!

Basic Syntax ()

Types
integer an integer is a number value
boolean a boolean is a value which equals true or false
string a string is a text message "wrapped in quotation marks" or 'apostrophes'
Example Example
Example Example
Operators
if allows us to query if something: equals, does not equal, is less/more than x value etc ...
if condition then -- this queries if (boolean) condition equals true then do some action!
if condition == true then -- this is also a valid way for seeing if a (boolean) condition equals true!
if not condition then -- this checks if (boolean) condition equals false!
if condition == false then -- this is also valid for checking if a (boolean) condition equals false!
