LuaBehaviour⚓︎

LuaBehaviour inherits from Behaviour

LuaBehaviour is the main class every Lua component script derives. When creating a Lua script in a component, you need to get and extend the instance of this object. This object references the component in which you attach your Lua script into.

Members⚓︎

Properties⚓︎

Name	Description
`LuaBehaviour`.`id`	A Unique identifier for this Lua script. This id is same for this script for all the clients in the room.

Methods⚓︎

Name	Description
`LuaBehaviour`.`StartCoroutine(coroutineFunction, args)`	Starts the passed function as a coroutine function.
`LuaBehaviour`.`StopAllCoroutines()`	Stops all coroutines running on this behaviour.
`LuaBehaviour`.`StopCoroutine(routine)`	Stops the coroutine reference by the Coroutine Object.

Messages⚓︎

Note

Massive Loop follows a similar messaging system as unity. The messages that listed here are sent by this component and must be used in a similar way as start or update functions.

Name	Description
`LuaBehaviour`.`FixedUpdate()`	Frame-rate independent message for physics calculations.
`LuaBehaviour`.`LateUpdate()`	LateUpdate is called every frame.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnAnimatorIK(layerIndex)`	Callback for setting up animation IK (inverse kinematics).
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnAnimatorMove()`	Callback for processing animation movements for modifying root motion.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnBecameInvisible()`	OnBecameInvisible is called when the object is no longer visible by any camera.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnBecameVisible()`	OnBecameVisible is called when the object became visible by any camera.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnBecomeOwner()`	Called when the current client becomes the owner of the object.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnCollisionEnter(other)`	OnCollisionEnter is called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collider.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnCollisionExit(other)`	OnCollisionExit is called when this collider/rigidbody has stopped touching another rigidbody/collider.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnCollisionStay(other)`	OnCollisionStay is called once per frame for every collider/rigidbody that is touching rigidbody/collider.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnDisable()`	This function is called when the behaviour becomes disabled.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnEnable()`	This function is called when the object becomes enabled and active.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnLostOwnership()`	Called when the current client loses the network ownership of the object.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnOwnerChanged(player)`	OnOwnerChanged called when the current Network owner is changed. The new owner is passed as argument. Network ownership allows a certain client to modify properties of a game object if that game object or any of its parent or grandparents are synchronized using MLSynchronizer.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnParticleCollision(gameObject)`	OnParticleCollision is called when a particle hits a Collider.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnTriggerEnter(other)`	When a GameObject collides with another GameObject, Unity calls OnTriggerEnter.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnTriggerExit(other)`	OnTriggerExit is called when the Collider other has stopped touching the trigger.
`LuaBehaviour`.`OnTriggerStay(other)`	OnTriggerStay is called almost all the frames for every Collider other that is touching the trigger. The function is on the physics timer so it won't necessarily run every frame.
`LuaBehaviour`.`Start()`	Start is called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time.
`LuaBehaviour`.`Update()`	Update is called every frame, if the component is enabled.

Name	Description
`LuaBehaviour`.`BroadcastMessage(methodName, parameter=nil)`	Calls the method named methodName on every Lua Script in this game object or any of its children.
`LuaBehaviour`.`CompareTag(tag)`	Is this game object tagged with tag ?
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetAllLuaScripts()`	Returns an array of all Lua scripts that attached to the game object.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetComponent(type)`	Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, nil if it doesn't.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetComponentInChildren(t)`	Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetComponentInParent(t)`	Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetComponents(type)`	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetComponentsInChildren(t)`	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetComponentsInParent(t)`	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.
`LuaBehaviour`.`SendMessage(methodName, value=nil)`	Calls the method named methodName on every Lua Script in this game object.
`LuaBehaviour`.`SendMessageUpwards(methodName, value=nil)`	Calls the method named methodName on every LuaScript in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour.
`LuaBehaviour`.`TryGetComponent(type)`	Gets the component of the specified type, if it exists.
`LuaBehaviour`.`GetInstanceID()`	Returns the instance id of the object.

Example⚓︎

You can get the instance of the LuaBehaviour by calling ‘LUA.script’.

do
    ---@type LuaBehaviour
    local script = LUA.script;

end
