Half-Life: Alyx Workshop Tools/Lua Scripting

Half Life Alyx, like other source titles, is able to use lua scripts natively when building custom levels using the Hammer editor. Scripts can be used for a variety of things including creating new game modes, weapons and other types of complicated logic.

Note: As HL: Alyx is a relatively new game, some API functions have not yet been implemented (see scripting api). This may affect the possible scope of your scripts
