LUA compile?

[MarkusR]

now i run my game and my player script is not up to date.

seems it not compiled. how is this possible?

i put some infos at screen, they not appear.

 

maybe this is a combination of crash at export game.

i will restart pc.

 

very strange, restart pc not helped.

my solution, save map under new name, run.

script is up to date.

load my work in progress map.

script is up to date and i can edit there as usual, stay up to date at start.

Please post the script in question and tell us what the error says, what line it occurs at, etc.

[MarkusR]

there was no error, the engine used a temporary compiled older script and not my saved one.

 

i had add a print row and the output not appear on screen and i wonder why.

means i does not see my changes in script at run game, really.

 

then i saved the map with new name start it and it was ok.

switch back to my normal wip map it was ok also.

 

it happens only once for me so don't care but please wrote a note.

The engine does not compile scripts, so I do not understand your explanation.

[MarkusR]

in docu i had read f6 compile script and run.

ok if the script not compiled, its possible that u make a temporary file of it?

maybe was a file locked by windows and this can't overwrite but then i expect a message or error.

i can explain as on error resume next.

Maybe you didn't save your changes before running?

[MarkusR]

sure i saved , also i saw propertys i had add for test was listet below scene tree view at modell script propertys.

this are updated at saving.

[Josh]

Maybe you didn't save your changes before running?

Everything automatically saves when you run the game, FYI.

 

I cannot understand what this thread is describing.

[MarkusR]

it means

 

print("hello world") <- i had used DrawText(...) in PostRender

save

run

hello world

 

print("hello markus")

save

run

hello world

 

i don't know what happens between save and run the lua script in engine.

[Josh]

Lua is interpreted, not compiled. (Well, actually there is an internal JIT compilation process, but it's not anything you need to worry about.) I do not understand what you are asking. Lua scripts do not get turned into an EXE.

[MarkusR]

maybe exist a Just-in-time compiler cache?

 

i know from app game kit, they compile the source code to bytecode for a/the/his interpreter core.

 

other word for compiled is translated.
