| Type | Description |
|---|---|
number | Represents numeric values, both integers and floating-point numbers. |
string | Represents sequences of characters, such as text or binary data. |
boolean | Represents Boolean values, which can be either true or false. |
table | Represents a collection of key-value pairs, making it a versatile data structure used for arrays, dictionaries, and other complex data representations. |
function | Represents executable code blocks, allowing you to create and call functions in Lua. |
userdata | Represents arbitrary C data in Lua. It is mainly used for binding C/C++ libraries to Lua. |

nil | Represents the absence of a value. It is commonly used to indicate that a variable does not have a valid value. |
This section is dedicated to Advanced Scripting Projects, where scripts are used to create functional and interactive game features. From simple systems to more complex mechanics, these guides focus on practical applications, helping you bring your ideas to life through scripting. Each project is designed to provide hands-on experience and deepen your understanding of game system development in Mini World.
You have probably used triggers, and if you have experience using them you may have encountered a really common problem, let's explain it with a situation, imagine you made the best trigger in the world, and it were a masterpiece, a revolutionary invention, and a true game-changer, but you wanted to share this trigger with another person, such as your friend.
Now, let's think for a second. How would you share a trigger? Maybe typing how you made it? Or with pictures? Or do you record yourself building the triggers? All those ways of sharing the triggers work, but they also all are time-consuming, as it is inefficient to create the same trigger once again, even if you have a picture or reference of your trigger, and it is prone to errors. Additionally, a likely scenario is that the best trigger in the world that you just made has an error, and you want to fix this error as soon as possible. You could search all your triggers and check for any bugs or errors, but this manual aproach not only demands an extensive time investment but also increases the likelihood or chance of overlooking subtle bugs.
But what if there were a more efficient solution? A comprehensive system that instantly shows the errors in your works, highlighting the exact parts that need attention? And is also easy to share and read?
Enough imagination, let's bring your ideal solution to life. There is a system where identifying errors in your games is as effortless as clicking a button. No more searching through all the triggers you made or spending hours searching for errors manually. And that system would be scripts. Scripts are, in essence, the sibling of the triggers. Scripts can also be the building blocks of your game, just like triggers, with varying levels of complexity, from simple greetings to complex epic combat systems. They also possess elegance and readability, providing an unparalleled experience for both creators and collaborators. So, why imagine, when you can embrace the power of scripts and unlock a new tool that can help you create games?
Scripts use the Lua programming language to work, in game development, Lua is really efficient as it has clean syntax and lightweight design that not only facilitates rapid development but also contribute to the creation of error-free scripts. This reliability is crucial in ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience for players and offer smooth sailing to developers and creators.
