Import variable value to xLua function

[Lazarus1988]

I need to use a custom function with xLua object wich needs some elements from other objects.
O course, I would use "Push variable into lua function" but in this case will not help me.

What I want achieve is something like this:

LUA syntax

CONST_BASE_HP = 500

function ComputeHP()
	return tonumber(math.abs(math.ceil(CONST_BASE_HP + (CONST_BASE_HP * Active1.SomeGlobalValue))))
end

Also antother question:

If there is no way to use sprite objects directly in xLua and the only
way is use "Push Variable" , how the heck clear function argument(s) if i need this one with another object?

In Fusion, you can do:

In Lua>>
Active(5)

xLua: On Function "Active">>
Push integer Return Value: Alterable Value (Integer Parameter 1)

or, even better, have active names in the first alterable string and do this:

In Lua>>
Active("Player",5)

xLua: On Function "Active">>
For Each Loop of all Actives (Group perhaps?)


On For Each Loop of Group.Actives>>
+If Group.Active's Alterable String A == Lua String Parameter 1
Push Integer Return Value: Alterable Value (Integer Parameter 2)


If that's not what you're looking for, then I probably misunderstood your question.

Thanks, but I think you misunderstod my question, let me refrase question:

Is there a way to put global value of any object inside xLua function without pushing variable as functions argument?
(I made a photo what I', thinking)

[BartekB]

To do that, you'll need to constantly make a list and write things into it, which is probably worse than using a function.
If you really want to do this, I can explain how to create what you want.

fyi, "dx_bar.progress" is basically a list called dx_bar that has the integer called progress.

Which leads to conclusion... Best option is using "LUA function -> Push /type of var/ parameter"

[BartekB]

Yes, Push Return Value is the easiest and probably least memory-consuming event you can do.

[Lazarus1988]

Ok, another question but I bet what you tell me...

xLua -> Call Lua function ("xLua", "function_name")

Which one will be more safe to eun this on Event?

a) Timer -> Periodic Event ( val )
b) Always

[BartekB]

Depends how much you want it updated, you can use Always for the function to be ran 60 times.

Well their a very simple functions, calculating player values such as HP, MP etc.
