RE: lua_State and garbage collection

["Ive" <neosettlers@...>]

Hi all!

How do you Init an ai script?

And how do you update it...


Ive tried init like with:

luaL_loadfile(LUA()->m_lua, "primitive_cubeAI.lua");

and call it everyframe with:

lua_call(LUA()->m_lua, 0, LUA_MULTRET);

is this the right way to do this?

thx
