hi i’m new here and please don’t remove lua support because i want to do stuff with it
is it possible to change the player’s traits using lua? I saw someone use it to change player stats over time in another thread. i want to make a jekyll/hyde mod where you change at night and turn back in the morning
EDIT: aw shoot i think i put this in the wrong place. if this is supposed to be in the code help board then please put it there. sorry
is there any documentation for lua support? i know that the wiki has a list of functions and attributes but many of the entries don’t have a description so i’m not sure how they work
LUA functions are simply exported C++ functions, so they should work as their C++ counterparts.
oh ok cool! so are all functions exported or is it only the ones listed on the wiki?
Everything available in LUA is gathered in https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/lua/class_definitions.lua
so I would use player.add_trait()? do you know if there’s a list of trait ids or something similar I would use for this? sorry for being a bother
I believe all traits are defined in https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/6d1b73231b7b70d53790b2851b90864d86cf7db1/data/json/mutations.json
They are in mutation.json if I’m not wrong.
whenever I try to use add_traits or remove_mutation it tells me that I need to use userdata. how do I give it what it wants? 
I think for this maybe set_mutation would work best.
oh! it turned out I had to be using a : instead of a . . thanks for all the help guys, I’ll start working on the mod thing when I get home
wait does lua support have callback functions? and if it does can someone give me a list of them?
There are four LUA callbacks, two of which are calendar-related:
`on_new_player_created` - called when starting the game (used in StatsThroughSkills mod)
`on_skill_increased` - called when player skill is increased (used in StatsThroughSkills mod)
`on_day_passed` - called once a day (at midnight)
`on_minute_passed`- called once a minute
