Lua Eval

Configuring the Lua Evaluation Module

The Lua Evaluation module allows users to evaluate Lua code using an online Lua interpreter and return the result.

Commands and Usage

Evaluate Lua Code

Evaluates the provided Lua code and returns the result.

• Usage:
  • ,lua <code>

    • Response:
      • username: Hello, world!

Notes

• The module sends the Lua code to the online Lua interpreter at https://www.lua.org/cgi-bin/demo for evaluation.
