Half-Life: Alyx Workshop Tools/Lua Scripting

Half-Life: Alyx, like previous Source titles such as Garry's Mod, 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 Half-Life: 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!
