Lumod

Framework for modding compiled classes with Lua using Haxe macros and linc_luajit.

How to use this??

Setup

Install using:

haxelib git linc_luajit https://github.com/AndreiRudenko/linc_luajit
haxelib install lumod

Then you can use lumod.LuaScriptClass.build("script.lua") build macro in your project in any class.

How Lumod works

Every non-static function calls it's Lua script counterpart before it's code (lua function: function), and after it's code (lua function: function_post).
The first Lua function's value is stored in a local function variable called luaValue, this can be used optionally for aborting functions etc.

Pre-defined Functions

Lua Script

• close() - Closes current Lua script.
• getProperty(name) - Gets a property from some class, by default it's the current haxe instance of current script. For example you can get the window of HaxeFlixel's game's width with getProperty("flixel.FlxG.width").
• setProperty(name, value) - Basically works the same as the getProperty function but sets a value instead of getting it.
• callFunction(function, arguments) - Retrieves the function with the same technique as the getProperty function but instead of getting the property, it calls it like a method. Example usage: callFunction("flixel.math.FlxMath.roundDecimal", [1.2485, 2]).
• hasField(name) - Checks if a property exists.
• isPropertyFunction(name) - Checks if a property is a function.
• isPropertyObject(name) - Checks if a property is a object.

Haxe class

• lmCall(function, arguments) - Calls a Lua function from the loaded script and returns it's value.
• lmGet(variable) - Gets a global Lua variable from the loaded script and returns it's value.
• lmSet(variable, value) - Creates or sets a global Lua (and HScript) variable in the loaded script to value.
• lmAddCallback(name, callback) - Declares a new function in the Lua script with a callback to callback.
• lmLoad() - Loads or reloads the Lua script instance.

Pre-defined Functions (HScript)

To enable HScript use LUMOD_HSCRIPT Haxe Define in the project configuration.

Lua Script

• haxeRun(code) - Runs Haxe code via HScript interpreter.
• haxeSet(variable, value) - Sets a property in a HScript interpreter to a value.
• haxeImport(class, ?as) - Imports a class to the HScript interpreter, if as is specified, the class will be defined as the specified name.

Haxe class

• hscriptSet(variable, value) - Sets a property in a HScript interpreter to a value.

Print Example

Game.hx

@:build(lumod.LuaScriptClass.build()) // if `scriptPath` argument is not specified then it will set to "(Class name).lua"
class Game {
    function create() {
        Sys.println("create function");
    }
}

Game.lua

function create()
    print("before create function")
end

function create_post()
    print("after create function")
end

Output

> before create function
> create function
> after create function
