Etpro LUA sucks

by Burneddi • 5 Jun 2010, 23:26 • Journals
The more I use it the more I hate it. Yet for some odd reason I find myself doing it over and over again. It's like crack, I guess.

I mean, the language is pretty simple, but it's the ETPro API for the language that sucks ass! EVERY SINGLE documentation for it is from 2005, scattered in the wiki and on their forums, and finding it is tricky, if even possible. At many parts I had to search through the ET source code to find some fieldnames and gah.

I guess none of you understood any of that but whatever, my point is: never ever touch ETPro LUA scripting.

But well, atleast I could do some pretty neat stuff with it.

Not with LUA atleast.. You can't even get your hands on the class recharge time (the bar that goes down when you throw around dynamites and medpacks and shit) to make it infinite (of course you could also edit your config and put something like g_medicchargetime 1 but that isn't what I'm after).

If I could code or had understanding of lua scripting language I wouldn't be here complaining about how it's annoying and difficult.

I don't see what you are trying to achieve other then a trolling award for 'I'm awesome but can't explain what I have done.'

Why would you temper with LUA files when pretty much everything can be edited in the normal server config?
