ImportScript

This function was added in DSL 4

Description​

Loads a script from Scripts.img into the current script's environment.

This function emulates the ImportScript normally available to base game scripts.

This function is a special case, because the original version is actually hidden by util.lur. The version typically available to base game scripts is actually provided by util.lur that is made specifically for each script.

In an effort to mimic this behavior, DSL does not register this function as a global function. Instead, it is put into each script's environment just like util.lur would normally do.

function ImportScript(name) --[[ ... ]] end

Parameters​

  • name: string - The name of the script to import. This should be the name of a script file in Scripts.img, with the .lua extension.

Return Values​

None.

Example​

ImportScript('util.lua')
ImportScript('chap2/Boxing_util.lua')

ImportScript('Library/LibTable.lua')
ImportScript('Library/LibPed.lua')

ImportScript('Library\\LibTable.lua')
ImportScript('Library\\LibPed.lua')
ImportScript('Library\\LibPropNew.lua')
