I need to create my own myglobal.lua. I understand that the script must be called (loaded) using the Require command.

I'm assuming that this command is placed in global.lua...correct??

If so, where in global.lua is it placed? Inside _init cycle or before _init with the other variable declarations????

Thanks

there isnt any init(e) or anything in the global file, it's just a bunch of functions and variables
you can place it anywhere

OK, so I added this to global.lua

require("myglobal")

When it ran I got a long error indicating that I was missing a DDL named myglobal ?????

What is the proper syntax ?
Does this structure work during test game mode ?

the correct syntax looks like this
package.path = "scriptbank/?.lua;"
require "myglobal"

you can apparently also use the below within the init function of a specific script
Include ("ai_cover.lua")

I simply use an object placed at the start with Always Active tied to my "fragjack" (global) script pretty similar to what smallg is saying above.

So is this correct?

place this ....

require "myglobal"

anywhere into the global.lua

and I then make a file called myglobal,lua in the scriptbank.

and every time the global.lua is upgraded you only have to replace the

require "myglobal"

back into global.lua

So on startup global.lua is read and then myglobal.lua is read to setup the commands...
