dev question.

[10der 832]

may I ask developer question? 

 

Well, that's a question that needs to be asked.... 

how (or "why I can't" if FIBARO dev can read this post) I can create global LUA function?

for example, I want to declare once

and simple call from any scenes this function with own parameters.

 

yes, I can workaround :

1) create scene 

2) check fibaro:args()

3) pass from any scenes params... fibaro:startScene(sceneID, {'Yarr!', 'Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3'} );

but IMHO it's very clumsy handled

it doesn't work!

Long shot... Because scenes do not share a Lua environment. Each runs its own environment... fibaro:abort kills the runtime.

Next question: why is each scene separate... I don't know

[tinman 1,070]

the lua interpreter runs as separate process for each every scene/vd/plugin. Btw, there might be a way to communicate between all of them (e.g. TCP), but it is overkill and does not guarantee smooth processing (as each every what so ever have to wait till data got received)
