Convert a string to type "LuaFunction"

I'm using the LuaInterface in .net for a large project I'm working on. Is it possible to convert a string straight into a LuaFunction (similar to how LoadString() works?).

Solution

  • LuaInterface has LoadString, that is how you get lua source code parsed into a LuaFunction, you can then use the Call method to execute the function.

    static void Main(string[] args) {
    Lua lua = new LuaInterface.Lua();

    LuaFunction func = lua.LoadString("return 5", "name for debugging");

    func.Call();
}
