RE: Cleaning up specific lua scripts

["Ricky Haggett" <ricky@...>]

Hey Steve,

Collectgarbage will only work if I set the functions/tables I want to delete
to nil - the question is how I differentiate the level-specific ones I do
want destroying from the global ones I don't..

Cheers,

Ricky

Would not collectgarbage() do the job? May have to call it a few
times, use the 'count' argument before & after to see what you've
reclaimed.  And (of course) make sure there are genuinely no
references hanging around, non-weak tables being the big culprit
