Inline Lua is intended to "return" some value to the section variable, but that doesn't mean you have to use the value it returns... It actually doesn't have to return anything at all.

That's an acceptable workaround. Hopefully the !CommandMeasure thing is a bug that is fixable. I have been dealing with that for over a year, and just assumed it was a consequence of LUA needing double backslashes. I never knew it was a bug!

Anyway, thanks.

Unless I'm missing something, this means that Inline Lua can just "deprecate" using !CommandMeasure to fire Lua functions...

We will look at !CommandMeasure, but I fear that behavior might be baked into the DNA of Lua, and might be hard to fix without backwards compatibility issues, or having to hack core Lua code that puts at risk future Lua version updates. We will see.

Well, there are disadvantages. First off, you would need to use DynamicVariables on anything that needs to invoke LUA commands (which probably isn't too much of a deal, but it could have a slight performance impact). Secondly, it doesn't appear that Inline LUA can use table function arguments.

LeftMouseUpAction=[&MeasureScript:ToggleSkin{configName = '[#toggledSkinConfig]', configState = [&MeasureConfigActive:IsActive([#toggledSkinConfig])]}] throws an error. While when used in a !CommandMeasure it works fine.

I'm not entirely sure you do need DynamicVariables if you are not in fact returning anything.

Yeah, you can't pass a direct call to a table with an index to it, you would have to pass some reference to the table name (if needed) and the index separately in the arguments, then use that to access the table.

The major difference is that you can just execute raw Lua code using !CommandMeasure, where Inline Lua can only execute a named function(), with any parameters you want. However, I could argue that that isn't fatal, you just need to define your functions carefully.

Edit: Yeah, you don't need DynamicVaraiables.

Ah, you're right.

Yeah, you can't pass a direct call to a table with an index to it, you would have to pass some reference to the table name and the index separately in the arguments, then use that to access the table.

The point of this was to make arguments optional. I couldn't find an argument order that would allow me to make them optional without needing to manually input 'nil' for one or more of the other arguments if you don't want to use them. For example, if you want to toggle a specific variant, you would need to use ToggleSkin('[#toggledSkinConfig]', [&MeasureConfigActive:IsActive([#toggledSkinConfig])], nil, 'Variant1.ini', '[&MeasureConfigActive:ConfigVariantName([#toggledSkinConfig])]') if the function is function ToggleSkin(configName, configState, toState, skinIni, activeIni).

Anyway, that's unfortunate. It sounds really complicated if I still want to use a table when using Inline LUA, so I'll just scrap that and use nil.

Edit: Typing 'nil' as a function argument in Inline LUA appears to translate into a zero when the function gets the value. That's odd.

Finished updating my sample skin and figured I would share it here. It works like a charm! I even managed to add a new feature while I was at it! Thanks for all your help.

Raiguard,

I have posted a 2.1 version of the plugin, that allows escaped "\", as in Illustro\\System to be sent to it and it will ignore the extra slash.

[raiguard]

Ah sorry, I somehow didn't see this yesterday. I wouldn't have put it past you to fix that because using Inline LUA works well enough, but since you put forth the effort, I appreciate it!

[raiguard]

Hey jsmorley, I was looking at this to reference the documentation you wrote, and noticed that the documentation is broken. It didn't used to be, so it might have something to do with the forum update. Just thought I'd let you know.
