Lua run

It runs raw Lua code given to it in its keyvalues.

Keyvalues

Code (Code) <string>

Lua code to run when triggered.
The lua variables ACTIVATOR and CALLER may be used in the code, as well as TRIGGER_PLAYER if !activator resolves to a player.

Bug:In Hammer, using double quotes " as string arguments will corrupt the VMF file's structure, making the file unviewable for the next Hammer session.

Workaround:You should instead use either an apostrophe (single quote) ' or brackets [[]] to contain strings in your lua code.

Fix:To fix an unreadable .vmf broken in this way, remove the double quote manually with a text editor.

  [todo tested in ?]

Todo: This keyvalue seems to support loading code from separate lua files, document exactly how this works

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
