How to use Lua scripts

Now Lua can be used in TheoTown. Lua is a real proggraming language. To learn it, read
this.
To include a Lua file in your plugin, use this:
The file has to be in the same directory as your JSON.
The Lua code can be this:
Code: Select all
function script.nextMonth()
Debug.toast("Hello Month!")
end
This will show a toast each month.
The full list of the available functions in TheoTown is in

• Do lua scripts need a building to function? (like fun functionality)
• Can lua scripts be attached to anything? (buildings, terrain, trees, cars)
• How would one make a script that replaces a grass tile with a sand tile?

Probably not; sure, why not; why not a sand dune blowing in the wind?

Your post contains so much negativity that it's actually positive
although I'm not sure if I understand the land one.

Alright, I attached a script to an animation and it works, even if I didn't use the animation. I got the script to run when you open the game. Really cool stuff!

Is it possible to have a Lua app on mobile?

To be honest I don't like any of the apps that are available
In the store. Rather use a PC or just use a normal text editor that supports Lua (
i.e. QuickEdit)

Not really like Java.
Compared to java Lua is much more forgiving and easy.
