Is there any way of creating constants for my library?
I need to be able to do something like this:
local myLibrary = require "plugin.myLibrary" print(myLibrary.myConstantValue)You can do something like that. You have to open a library by calling http://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/luaL_register. Then you have to push the “constant” as a c value using http://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/lua_pushlightuserdata. And then you have to set the field and pop it. It would be much easier to just have the user pass in a string and you can check against that string.
