Alrite since I see alot of posts asking if things are possible in Lua I have made this thread to show what must be done in C++ and what can be done in Lua. This is an evergrowing list. So if you find something in the list that should not be there, PM me and I will edit the list. Keep in mind this is using the default Lua.dll file that comes with the server when you compile it. This list is what you can do with default Lua. I will put at the bottom of the post what you can do with the Lua++.dll file. Remember don't hold me to this list as I might be wrong in some cases so like i said this list is also the community repsoncibility to find any mistakes I may have.
