Thoroniul's LUA Tutorial

@Cpt. flint. Yes, this is possible. If you notice the eye, it always points at the object the viewer is looking at. There is also api.getMainPlayer(), api.getLocalPlayer(), api.getClosestPlayer(Vec3 pos) , Transform[] getAllPlayers(). To get access to different player situations.

This stuff is next level! Thank you!! I'm not sure if this is covered in the tutorial map, but is it possible to make a moving object track towards a player? I see player tracking is possible, But let's say I had an object that I wanted to move towards the player whatever direction the player is going. Any advice on where to start? Thank you!!

What happened to the "Rough Video" that was attached to this. I remember seeing some rotation code in there that I can't find anywhere else.

Thank you! This definitely gets me started!

To copy just download the room into your own editor, and open the files in ugc.

For more information on lua, you could take a look at the wiki https://docs.escapesimulator.com/docs/room-editor/lua-scripting

Could you give me more information on copying? Where is the "workshop option"? if that means the workshop page where I edit my room, the only button there is <CREATE>. I noticed a sign somewhere in the tutorial that indicate I would need some prior knowledge. Could you tell me where to find what I will need to know? All I know about .lua is that it exists and seems to govern movement. I just published my first room. I want to do more and I know this will greatly increase my options for creating more interesting environments as well as possibly more creative puzzles. Please don't dismiss me on the grounds of my lack of knowledge. I am rather intuitive with code and have taught myself quite a bit simply by seeing examples of code and what they do, so I can learn this.

O my god, this i dident know. Thank you so much!

In the top right corner of the workshop option there is a copy button. This copies the map folder into your own editor UGC enabling one to open the map in their own editor environment. One can open the map file and find the various .lua files.

Sorry, i have no idea what you mean with copy the map. I have downloaded it, but there is no folder to find for me.

One can copy the map and search in the folder and just read the code directly.
