Hi,
One of my projects requires that users are able to create and run scripts at runtime. I'd like to implement a fully functional script language if possible, and this doesn't seem like a trivial thing to do. The goal is to allow users to control various parts of my program using this scripting language.
The problem I'm having with this is that I have no idea of where to start. Does anyone have any ideas of how to do this, or know of an interpreter I could use?
Thanks in advance,

try this one. it's widely used in games.

Thanks!
I tried both. Lua seems to be missing a whole lot of includes and appears to be causing syntax errors, so it's probably not an option.
GSTScript doesn't cause compiler errors, but it doesn't seem to be loading the DLL included with it. Does anyone know why that might be?
I'm using Gamestudio A8 Pro by the way, in case that makes any difference in this regard.

Lua probably (definetely) won't compile directly with lite-c. You will need to create an engine plugin dll using the lua sdk.

I've decided I'll use GSTScript unless there's major difficulties with it. It already is a DLL, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it include the DLL. The script header that comes with it defines all the function prototypes, and will compile with no errors, but I get an error "empty function call" as soon as it's done (so it's not loading the DLL).
Do I need to include the DLL seperately?

EDIT: I've figured out that moving the DLL into the main project folder rather than a subfolder gets rid of the error. Thanks for the help!

Does anyone have any experience with GSTScript? Whenever I try to register a function or execute a script, my program simply crashes.
I did run GSTScript_startup() before trying to run anything. I also waited 5 frames after engine startup before trying to run anything. Can anyone help?

lua works fine for me, i just had to modify the headers a little to make it compatible with lite-C
i can upload my stuff somewhere if anyone is interested

That would be great!

last version is 0.9.8 http://projects.gstools.de/gstscript
please post your main code and lua script.
