Lua

API Reference

[Todo] In near future Lua API may change drastically several times. Information here may be outdated

Globals

  • DATA - persistent table
    • DATA.ERM contains ERM state, anything else is free to use.
  • GAME - IGameInfoCallback API
  • BATTLE - IBattleInfoCallback API
  • EVENT_BUS - opaque handle, for use with events API
  • SERVICES - root "raw" access to all static game objects
    • SERVICES:artifacts()
    • SERVICES:creatures()
    • SERVICES:factions()
    • SERVICES:heroClasses()
    • SERVICES:heroTypes()
    • SERVICES:spells()
    • SERVICES:skills()
  • require(URI)
    • works similar to usual Lua require
    • require("ClassName") - loads additional API and returns it as table (for C++ classes)
    • require("core:relative.path.to.module") - loads module from "SCRIPTS/LIB"
    • [Todo] require("modName:relative.path.to.module") - loads module from dependent mod
    • [Todo] require(":relative.path.to.module") - loads module from same mod
  • logError(text) - backup error log function

Low level events API

-- Each event type must be loaded first
local PlayerGotTurn = require("events.PlayerGotTurn")

-- in this example subscription handles made global, do so if there is no better place
-- !!! do not store them in local variables
sub1 = 	PlayerGotTurn.subscribeAfter(EVENT_BUS, function(event)
		--do smth
	end)

sub2 = 	PlayerGotTurn.subscribeBefore(EVENT_BUS, function(event)
		--do smth
	end)
