If i add my own function to the global.lua will i be able to call it in all of my scripts? If not thats fine ill call it elsewhere but I figured adding them to one spot it would be better for game development, when I release my system pack ill include the function in the scripts. IF this is possible....

Yes but you shouldn't do it because whenever there's an update global.lua will be overwriten.

You can just put them all in one script, call it say myglobal.lua, and add that to a barrel in your game.

I have my own global.lua which I save off before updating GG then put it back afterwards.

Mind you I also have all my own versions of nearly all the scripts as I have re-written most of them.

But to answer your main question, yes if you add it to global.lua it can be called from any other script.
