register_step takes an actual lua function, not some command, you shouldn't be using this command from the console.

Cr15py

Is this a joke or a troll? My god, I'm losing faith in society -.-
How about we use common sense, let's look at the function prototype! register_step(function). Hmm, figure it might take a function? Now, might a set of bs commands that aren't functions be a function? NO. Try defining a function and actually using real functions, might help. Try making a file containing this:
function spamMercury()
tpt.create(25, 25, 'merc')
end
tpt.register_step(spamMercury())

Then enter this into console: dofile("file.lua")

You don't really need to use LUA to do simple functions. Just do:
!(Old Style Commands)

What's so hard about putting a ! in front of the old python commands? Or didn't you bother to read UBERNESS's post just above yours?

in the console:

function abc() tpt.create(25,25,"MERC") end
tpt.register_step(abc)

I know how to use python and thats what i've been using ever since lua came out by putting the ! before everything. I realized that i was supposed to make my own .lua file in TextEdit
(macs Notepad) and i KNOW the difference between a function and a command i just didn't realize it had to be a function til now cause i didn't read into it too much. thanks for everyone's help

(P.S. Cr15py you were a REAL help so i think you deserve a big middle finger for what you said.)

lua makes me ashamed
