Core Lua API documentation

The Lua API in Hedgewars allows creating all scripted content in Hedgewars. Lua handles missions, styles and more. If you want to create your own missions, this is the place to start.

For a introduction into scripting, read LuaGuide.

Sections

The Lua API documentation is divided into the following sections:

• Beginner's guide
• Overview
• Scripting rules
• Global variables and constants
• Event handlers
• Gameplay functions
• Gear functions
• Stats functions
• GUI functions
• Audio functions
• Utility functions
• Lua libraries

Undocumented functions

We try to keep the wiki up-to date as fast we can, but recent additions to the Lua API might be undocumented. We have a script that checks the wiki automatically for undocumented functions: http://hw.ercatec.net/docs/lua_wiki_check.php
