Solved List of functions and methods?

Hey guys,

Trying to fish around for documentation on lua methods and functions. I have already found the Oxide hooks but looking on other people's threads, they're using metamethods like player:StartSleeping()

Anywhere I'd be able to see a list of functions and methods? Or at least point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Download Oxide 2 for experimental go to RustDedicated_data/Managed and there find a file named Assembly-CSharp.dll
Next step: Download a decompiler like "Telerik Decompiler" and open the dll listed above.
Next step: When you open it you can see everything what you can use in your plugin.
Note: Its not so easy to find what you want bcs there are many many things.
Next Step: Press CTRL+F and search for keywords like "Hurt" "Heal" "StartSleeping" "StopSleeping" "StartWounded(Not sure if its written like this )"

And also search here for configs timer data tables and other stuff http://docs.oxidemod.org/rust/

 

Hey PaiN,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have followed until the end, and I have another question.

So I've found these player method things (http://i.imgur.com/AWIQIHw.png) (whatever you call this stuff in C# c: ). So do I just say something like:

Code:

local IsPlayerAsleep = player:isSleeping()

or is it really just trial and error?

Also, if I were to switch to developing in c#, would it be much easier to make a plugin? I'm only using Lua as I have previous experience with it in Garrys Mod but unlike Rust, GMod provides an abundance of documentation.

I'm not very good at explaining xD but i will try.. so get_isSleeping is a boolean (Boolean = true/false)
If you want to check if player is sleeping you will probably have to do it like
LUA:

Code:

local IsSleeping = player:isSleeping()if not IsSleeping then
--do something
end

C#:

Code:

var IsSleeping = player.isSleeping();if(!IsSleeping) // if not player is sleeping
{
//Do something
}

I would say Lua is a lot easier than C# .. start with lua like me and then switch to C# when you know good lua.

 

Great, thanks for the examples!

Would you say that C# is a much more functional language (can you do more with C# than you can do Lua)?

C# is more powerful and some things are a bit easier to reach because its the same language the game is coded in.
Lua is still very good and probably 98% of the people wont ever reach the point where they want to do something that isnt possible with lua, its just a bit more complicated sometimes

I'd say both languages are relatively easy to learn but c# harder to master and you'll find more examples to learn from in lua than in c#.

 

Great! I might just stick with Lua then, haha.

Thanks so much for your input guys. Helped me out a lot.

Also if you want good Lua examples i prefer some easy plugin wrote in easy way by Wulf. Later you can check m-Teleportation and other a bit harder plugins.

 

The biggest advantage of C# is that you can use it in Visual Studio and have contextual help. You can even decompile the whole rust assembly and use it as a project in VS to look for stuff, it's a lot more intuitive than decompiling on-the-fly using a decompiler and you'll find a lot more stuff and ways to use them.

The base of the language is pretty simple, but most C# example you'll find will use LINQ and other stuff that might be a bit confusing to the uninitiated. It's just a matter of taking the time to look at examples, some documentation and with time you'll get good.

I disagree with the statement that there are more LUA examples, this was true back in legacy but I find that most mods I download are C# for Rust 2.0... Out of about 30 plugins I've downloaded as examples to look through, only 4-5 are python or LUA, rest is all C#... and I didn't pick them because they were C#, just happened like that.
