The following objects & functions are exposed to the Lua engine:

Objects

luajava

This is an object of the LuajavaLib library. It can be used to coerce Java static objects to Lua or create new Java object instances.

Example of exposing a static object & enums to Lua:

-- store a Java enum in a Lua global variable
ConversationStates = luajava.bindClass("games.stendhal.server.entity.npc.ConversationStates")

-- access the enum values like so
ConversationStates.IDLE

Example of creating an object instance:

-- store instance in local variable
local dog = luajava.newInstance("games.stendhal.server.entity.npc.SilentNPC")
-- access object methods like so
dog:setEntityClass("animal/puppy")
dog:setPosition(2, 5)

-- class with constructor using parameters
local speaker = luajava.newInstance("games.stendhal.server.entity.npc.SpeakerNPC", "Frank")
speaker:setOutfit("body=0,head=0,eyes=0,hair=5,dress=5")
speaker:setPosition(2, 6)

To make scripting easier, Stendhal employs a master script & some helper objects & methods to handle the functionality mentioned above. An explanation of these objects & methods follows.

logger

logger:warn(message): Prints a warning level message to the console.; message: Text to be printed.

logger:error(message): Prints an error level message to the console.; message: Text to be printed.

Example usage:

local zone = "0_semos_city"
if game:setZone(zone) then
	-- do something
else
	logger:error("Could not set zone: " .. zone)
end
