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]]
