Global functions - are they coming?

[marcand 0]

Hi

When working with many LUA scripts it is evident that global functions, too which one could send arguments, would simplify things. With this functionality, one doesn't have to write the same code in many scripts or have one script store values in global variables, and another to read those, which is tedious work.

One example of usage of this is when you have one script that turns on a lamp and another that is triggered to turn it off after some delay a delay. One would wish that the delay until the lamp is turned off is an argument to the function as well as the lamp to turn off. This way one can have one LUA function to handle this that can be called from many different scripts that are triggered when a lamp is turned on…

Do you have plans to enable such global functions?

I searched but couldn't find any post related to this…

Anyhow, it is great news that you plan for this. Is it in you short term or long term plans?
