Message Evaluation (Execute Lua code in SMBX Messages!)

Salut folks, i've decided to upload a simple library, which lets you execute lua code in smbx messages!
Example:
Code: Select all
--#lua_execute#--
if player.speedX == 0 then player.speedX = -9 end

Don't forget to credit me, overall you are allowed to use it and modify it. Also be sure to report bugs if there are ones!

Why would someone want to use this over a regular lua script?

I think it was just done for fun/screwing around.

They might be too lazy to create an event attached to the message, and create a lua file to answer your question. There’s really no long term benefits however to this method in the thread since it’s really hard to see your text in an smbx message.
Perhaps... I'm mostly concerned about how hard to find it will be in case something breaks, or how terrible the formatting in the message box window is. You don't even need an event either, just fill in a dummy message:
Code: Select all
function onMessageBox(eventObj, message)
if message == "dummyMessage" then
eventObj.cancelled = true
player.speedX = -9
end
end
And making a lua file is as simple as clicking a button in the editor, so it's arguably faster and easier to do it properly.

Well done Core, I think you did a really good job with it. Makes accessing lua stuff a lot easier with messages.
