Lesson Description

Helpful Tips and Definitions

Control Script Component: This component lets you script specific commands using the Lua coding language.

Custom Control Component: This component’s control panel can be populated with unassigned controls of your choice.

Script Sync: Whenever you edit the Control Script, a yellow bar at the top of the scripting window will indicate that your script is out of sync with the running design. Your edits will not be updated until you click on the yellow bar.

• If you want the Control Script to edit the appearance of a control, you’ll need to create a Custom Control and wire that control to the Control Script component as well the control’s target.
• You can use two dashes -- to create a comment in the Lua script for your own labeling purposes.
