LUA TNT Demo - Game/Script Interaction
-
Intro:
I made this demo for fun, because we don't have many LUA Scripts, and to demonstrate their usefulness to add special functionality to saves. The script and save the script is to be used with are at the end of the save.
Instructions:
NOTE: Quoted text should not be entered as quoted unless otherwise specified, it is quoted to make it apparent that it is the text in question
1) Save the file in your Powder Toy folder as "Dynamite.lua".
2) Open Powder Toy by double-clicking.
3) Press the key labeled "~"(or "`").
4) Type the following text(including quotes inside quotes) "dofile("Dynamite.lua")".
5) Now press the ENTER key.
6) Now, if the game is paused, unpause it.
7) Select SPRK from Electronics.
8) Spark the handle of the detonator shown in the upper right corner of the game.
9) Wait for the fuse to burn down!
10) Explosions teehee! ;)

That is quite awesome.
I just copied it into notepad (it was notepad++) and it worked fine when I saved it. I tend to do things the harder way.
Now I have to really learn lua, not just the basics -_- -
BloodLust, WordPad is a formatted text editor. It makes characters in the head of the file that are read by WordPad or other rich text editors as different forms of text, for example bold or italic or different sized text.
Notepad, on the other hand, is a plain text editor. It shows the file as is. -
its saying
cannot open dynamite.lua: permission denied
HELP please -
