LUA Request for commands
 
Maybe I missed a post somewhere, but i'm in need of some of the lua functionality, and cannot find where to get the basics.

Primarily, what are all the base calls for functions/commands from the cMud scripting language?

I'm curious how to call a cmud variable and command. I notice that zs.func.function_name("various", "parameters", "here") works, but i could not figure out how to reference the variables that are stored or the commands.

I understand there are comparable commands (print) in lua, but for instance if I needed to call echo from zScript, how would i? (first command that came to mind)

Also, if I need to reference a variable I have stored, such as "randomclass.counter" in lua, whats the equivalent lua call?

A simple primer on connecting lua to cmud's native commands / variables would be MUCH appreciated Smile

See the help. Basically, zs.cmd.whatever for commands, zs.var.whatever for vars, and zs.sys.whatever for predefined variables.
