Creating Global Accessable variables in Lua
Author
I am developing a C++ game with uses Lua for it''s scripting. However, in all my scripts I need some variables to be the same to keep the scripts easy. For instance, I want to define a global NewLine variable containing \r\n. I tried to do this in my OnGameStart script function but it doesn''t seem to work.

Actually, I want to do it from within my code. I tried pushing 2 values onto the stack, but that didn't quite work. So I am confused now.... Any ideas?

Just out of curiosity, have you tried tolua? It''s the automatic binding utility I use for my game, and it makes exposing extern''ed global variables in the host program to script pretty simple.

lua_pushnumber( luaState, Value );
lua_setglobal( luaState, "Name" );
or
lua_pushstring( luaState, "String" );
lua_setglobal( luaState, "Name" );
