Module FAQ & Documentation

What about creating a Google Forms, because you can still check it, and when the form is activated you can simply remove the Google Forms? Lots of people wanna join but they can not :/

#242

Yeah. I agree with your idea, actually, I've suggested this to the team a month ago, but no one answered yet.
Unfortunately we'll all need to wait :/

Can you tell me that is there a difference between normal lua and TFM lua. I mean if I learn lua can I make a module or do I need to learn anything else.

TFM Lua is basically the Lua 5.1 with some Lua 5.2 functions (I recommend you to learn Lua 5.2)
Lua on TFM provides some other functions, like giving cheese for the mice or things like that. An API. It also has some limitations: no io lib, no debug.setmetatable(), no require, no load(), no C functions, etc...

Knowing lua is enough. After that you need to test the API functions and the events as TFM Lua looks like an event programming ^^'

Check the lua tree, so you can see the available functions

Thank you but can you give me a link beside those given in forum I can't learn from them for lua. More easy and good understanding.

I think every link with tutorial would be hard for you, generally learning your first programming language is really hard. At the beginning you should look every Lua code and analize how it works. Then you should write as much scripts / codes as you can by using tutorial, which you'd learnt ( it's the easiest way to learn new language ).

In sum of Seba said, the 'easiest' manual I know is the official one. It is the best documentation I've ever seen.
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html.

You can start from basics.

Code Lua

1

function eventChatCommand(playerName, command) -- API + Lua
	if command == "cheese" then -- Lua
		tfm.exec.giveCheese(playerName) -- API
	elseif command == "shaman" then -- Lua
		tfm.exec.setShaman(playerName) -- API
	end -- Lua
end -- Lua

Type !cheese or !shaman and check how it works. The eventChatCommand is always triggered when you type something that starts with !. So you have to make so " if then " conditions (normal in any programming language) to check if the command someone typed worth an execution

Forgot to tell you it's not my 1st language in school I have being taught c++ which is half complete and I am the topper besides thay I know html and learning CSS. I wanted to learn this also but got stuck after some time of learning. So can anyone clear my doubts or refer to any other better thing.

You must use tfm.exec.chatMessage(message, playerName), but it is allowed for lua team members only

I had a thread about them on BR. The translators team are translating the topic. I'll make sure to quote you again with the link later ^_^
