And some general LUA tricks:
Getting LUA filename that call the functionInfo: Because debug library still exist in CS2D, this LUA also can be used on Counter-Strike 2D. It just uses a debug.traceback() function

local index=0
for line in traceback_string:gmatch("[^\n]+") do
index=index+1
if index==2 then
local t=line:find(":")
return line:sub(1,t-1)
end
end
end
print(GetCurrentLUAFilename()) -- Output "stdin" when you use it at interpreter. If it used on another file, then it output the LUA filename

package.cpath = package.cpath.."./lib/?.dll;../lib/?.dll;../../lib/?.dll;../../../lib/?.dll"
has anyone ever used this (or a similar) technique to make something useful in cs2d?
FlooD yes, i am. i use that to include a LuaSYS Library on my CS2D mission map

uPrate6 did, played around with it too.
Deleting all selection of menu but make the menu remains.Note: no menu effect seen at all.

menu(id,"Test,123,456") -- Later. Delay about 5 seconds menu(id,"")
player(id,"weapon") and player(id,"weapontype") is sameSource: Lua Lag Compensation

print(player(id,"weapon")==player(id,"weapontype") and "Same" or "Not Same") -- Same
Unless you're going to use it for your cryptographic needs. Then it's perfect.

nils everywhere? Are you suffering from spats of unfotunate speeling mistekes? Then you'll understand how annoying it is to track down one small typo within your goliath of a codebase. Seriously, that's probably the solution to about 30% of all of the questions that are asked in this forum.
I'm not here to debate language decisions; but if I were, I would definitely rank this as one of the most egregious issue with Lua. However, we can fix this!

setmetatable(
_G,
{__index = function (_, key) error("Undefined variable " .. key) end })
This line tells Lua to route all undefined global indexing (aka variable resolution for global variables, which is the fallback routine in case local variable resolution fails) through our own function (__index), which just raises an error.
