Title: Proggrammig language
Post by: retrocity77 on January 07, 2014, 12:31:17 PM
I was wondering what language you guys use to create these game modes and such. Thinking about learning some more coding and messig around on gmod a little bit.

Thanks

The code used is "Lua"
I was making a War of the Worlds game mode.
It's going well, anyway good luck with the learning and making of your gamemode

It's not really pure LUA. It's GLUA. There is a slight difference in it.

Use this Wiki to find out each and every command and it's meaning (And examples with a few of them) It's really helpful to find out which commands/functions/phrases you have to use.

It's actually Lua with the Just-In-Time (jit) compiler and Garry's Mod libraries. It's still Lua, however just with some premade libraries. Think of Java with the Swing(Graphical Interface) library. It comes with things to make your life easier.

Take a gander at lua.org/pil, the first edition is free and online. Lua is a great language to start off with, too. It really demonstrates the basics of programming and how different statements are aspects are controlled. Also, please note that Lua is not a programming language. It is a scripting language, big difference.

I recommend taking a look at other people's work, also. It's a great way to learn. Visit Facepunch.com and look under the "Developer Discussion" and "Gamemode/Addon Releases" boards. That's where all of the Garry's Mod scripters join to talk.
