Saving you trouble (loading order)

[NutJob]

Problem: other scripts calling on your external script functions can't find it because it's not loaded yet. There's no way to force it to load first in the editor.

Fix: Be sure to 1) shut down the editor, 2) go directly into the mod_assets/scripts/dungeons.lua 3) find your script; mine was called library and 4) 'cut' it from it's current loading order and move it just below the last loadLayer of the map it should be on.

This is what I had to find near the bottom of my dungeons.lua and CUT and paste to the the top (see Fix above). Be sure to get both lines. 'library' will be what you named the script 'ID'.

Code: Select all

spawn("script_entity",1,1,2,0,"library")
library.script:loadFile("mod_assets/scripts/core_lib.lua")

NOTE: this does not fix the Export bug.

Thanks NutJob, I need to test, but this "trick" might be the cause of some "bugs" I was encountering. It will make my Scripting definitely clearer.
