Introduction
Lua is a lightweight, scripting programming language based on an interpreter generating compiled bytecodes.
It was designed in Brasil by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Waldemar Celes and Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo in 1993.
CE Lua is a specific version of Lua interpreter adapted by Dark Byte for Cheat Engine.
Syntax
CE Lua interpreter respects traditional LUA syntax and provides some extra features. The Lua Script Editor provide a real-time colored syntax and a Syntax Check feature (Ctrl+Alt+C).
Comments
In Lua simple comments begin with == and end at the end of line.
Multi-line comments begin with ==[[ and end with ]] .
== This is a simple comment just to the end of this line This is not a comment but a future syntax error == This is a new simple comment ==[[ First line of a multi-line comment Second line of a multi-line comment Last line of a multi-line comment]]
