All the rules from this Lemmy instance apply.
Additionally, please try to follow these community-specific rules:

Rules

1. Posts must relate to Lua

All posts must be related to the Lua programming language.
This also includes related and derivative projects, such as Luau or MoonScript.

2. Use descriptive titles

Your title should in short describe the contents. That applies to all kinds of posts, no matter whether you’re showcasing a project, discussing a feature or asking for help.

Examples of bad titles:

  • please help!
    ^ Doesn’t provide any information about the post
  • How to rotate SENT?
    ^ Should also information about API and ideally expand SENT which is a rather niche acronym
  • request.lua
    ^ Could provide a short description of the library

Examples of good titles:

  • [Help] Lua errors when using string.format with the %p flag
  • How to rotate a Scripted Entity in Garry’s Mod when spawned?
  • request.lua - Lua >=5.1 library to simplify HTTP requests

Please note that there are no strict rules related to tagging posts (eg. including [Help] or [Roblox] in the title), but they are very welcome nonetheless.

3. Provide reproduction code

When asking for help, you should provide a reproduction code whenever applicable. This doesn’t mean that you should copy and paste your whole project or script into the post, in fact the opposite. Try to isolate the issue you’re facing on your own and only include the code needed to reproduce it.

A screenshot or image of the code is never valid. Additionally the code should be provided using the following Markdown syntax:

```lua
<your code goes here>
```

4. Information about environment

When asking for help, and ideally releasing a project, you should include as much information as possible about the target environment.
Most important thing is the Lua API in use, that means the video game, game engine, framework, library, etc.
Other information such as Lua version, environment variables, operating system, etc. may be useful as well.

Posts not following the rules may be deleted without prior notice.
Repeated offenders may be issued a warning and banned.

If you do not agree with the rules or statements made here, please discuss your issue in the comment section, I’m sure something can be done about it.
