Finally someone does a tutorial series on this. I needed it so bad. I wished that you do this kind of LUA tutorials a while ago but I didn't want to bother you so I didn't ask for it. Amazing work! Hyped for the future tutorials :)

I don’t even own the game, but these vids are just so interesting

I was baited into programming when I bought this game, but still i'm proud of myself by learning something new, nice video!

I know you probably won’t see this, but thank you for everything you’ve done for this community. Your tutorials are easy to follow and understand, and you explain things in a way that just makes sense. I went from knowing nothing about coding to making my own computer screen purely out of code. Thank you, NJ.

Good video, man. I've been avoiding Lua, cause it's a headache, but thanks to you it's a little easier to get into it.

Amazing! I am super glad that you have decided to dedicate a series to this, to promote our understanding of this! I really needed this! Keep up the nice work : )

Beautiful! Btw instead of copy-pasting code you can use loops, that will make your code more concise, flexible, and easy to read.

Instead of String format, you can use math.floor here is how to use it: With this data fed in: X = 5.7896431056 Y = 12.7896431056 Instead of having this: gpsX = input.getNumber(1) gpsY = input.getNumber(2) Output = 5.7896431056 12.7896431056 Use this: gpsX = math.floor(input.getNumber(1)) gpsY = math.floor(input.getNumber(2)) Output = 5 12 I hope that makes sense.

This is the best tutorial you explain it so well and the fact that you do it step by step is amazing.

if you want to type less, then instead of typing out your draw functions five more times simply concatenate your Strings e.g "screen.drawTextBox(1, 1, w, 6, "Fuel: " .. string.format("%0.0f", fuel))", The two periods after the "Fuel" are the Concat operator for Lua.I also left out the H_Sync, and V_Sync as when left out they default to the upper left if anyone would like to know how String concatenation works please let me know and i'll be happy to discuss it :)

Never have I had to learn an new programing language for a video game, but I can't say I'm disappointed I did.

Thank you so much for doing these, I have been struggling with LUA for ages and this is a real help.

I don't know if this works in stormworks lua but in the original lua you can put variables behind text by closing your quotation marks and writing two dots and the you can write your variable behind the dots

Yesss, finally someone makes a tutorial on this. Thank you sooo much.

I’m making a cruise ship and this will be very helpful

Very cool video. Also thanks to yandex translator, he helped me watch a video with simultaneous translation. (I am Russian)

Thank you for this tutorial. Those LUA screens have been a bit of a mystery to me. You clear up alot of confusion.

Thanks to you I now have an Idea how LUA works. Thank you!

This guy needs more subs

Excellent videos, to the point, easy to follow, and a simple learning curve. Great quality videos!

How do you know what tutorial I need........ that's epic dude Thank you very much👍

no idea how this works, but my brain hurts, good tutorial! was very cool!

It is better to use CamelCase (first letters of words are capital and words are together) for public variables (without "local" before name of the variable, so it can be used in entire script and not only in the one function) and pascalCase (first letter always not capital but first letters of other words still capital, and words are still together) for private ones (local myVariable = 2 + 2). Also, it isn't so good to use such short variable names if word more than 4 letters long, this can very decrease readability of code by others.

This helped me so much. I am working on a workshop creation and I wanted to try lua so this was a huge help.

Hahahaha shit. I just made my own yesterday after watching all your lua tutorials. Would have been nice to have a day ago!

Turns out: LUA isnt that hard, Im just dumb. Thanks for teaching us!

Nice, some more Lua

Would you do more LUA please????? Nobody else does this and it helps a lot ! Maybe a basic missile targeting system?

Awesome video, I'm very much looking forward to this series. Keep the good work

Awesomeeeee!!! this is gonna be a great and very needed series.

When I saw the programming language is Lua (which is the only language I know) I thought to myself: "It's time to overcomplicate this"

Great tutorial! Hope to see bar graphs and screen dials soon!

Спасибо, всё кратко и понятно) Best guy who makes stormworks videos is you!

Ahh finaly getting lua, thanks! Just building a 4 engine display.

I was waiting for this series! Great vid!

fyi you can double click item in the inventory to "equip it" so you dont need to keep pressing the button at the bottom to close it :D

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

This game is awesome, I bought besiege but this is what I really wanted!!!

I can now make advance information screens for my fleet:)

Saving my time 14:58

This video is amazing thanks NJ ❤👌😊

as any experienced coder would say, please do not include spaces in the variable names, periods, or any symbols (numbers are fine), it will cause the code assume that that was where the variable name ends and it will produce an error saying it needs to be an = sign if im not wrong, i havent coded LUA in so long i dont even know anymore

Very Informative !

thx man this realy helped keep up the good vids :D

Nice job!

Can you make the next video on how to make a 2 function graph?

I can’t get the numbers to show up it just says 0 on them all except for one of them

Could you do a tutorial on how to make a door you need a code to open like you did on your train?

I remember trying to make a Lua map but somewhere while copying it I slipped up and it didn't work. Little did I know that control C control V existed😅

I did it exactly the way you did it but i used a 1x2 monitor, and all my numbers didn't align right. But still a good tutorial

Can you also make a tutorial of the helpful lua site for stormworks. And a position hold system so your ship could stay in place. Thanks for the helpful vid.

Nice

Get him to 1million

i had problems like a random setnumber command showing up now there is just 64.0 and the same 64.0 showing under the first one

Yep I am safe

Nice, realy interesting

I was shocked when he said "more advanced" 23:30

do the monitors work different now or what because it doesnt work even though iv done excactly what u did

i dont want have to much number before the ( . ) what format should i use? help pls

Thanks man ;)

rly interesting and helpful. When is the next one?

Wish this is more space efficient and simpler than a 1by1 dial.

So I have a question, I input all of the code correctly and the screen messes up as such it goes backwards. meaning the display is flipped and i dont know how to fix, Should I contact devs?

I need help i scripted all corretly but the screen bsod and says tick failuer can you help me thanks

I’ll wait for more advanced tutorial cause I know everything you’ve done in the video. (By the way I know it from your earlier tutorials ) :D

There is one major problem with 0 decimal places for batt it will stay as one and switch to zero after getting under 0.50

Hello, am I the only one not getting the stats from the engine 19:56 ? I use a 4 engine setup. I’m doing it step by step in as in the video but still it doesn’t work for me. Any suggestions?

When I right string format lua get error

1 block is 32x32

what confuses me is how did you know to name wich

Amazing video, i have one stupid question. There is Power Consumption in the game? And if so, how i can write it to the screen. So i can see if my generator is keeping up with the consumption

Хей, круто! Кто русский ставим лайк )

How to creat a laser missile guided ?(My english is bad because i speak frenche 😛)

Can you connect multiple screens to the same video output of the microcontroller? If yes, what will the width and height read if they're different in size?

Yea me to

How do u copy and paste

This appears not to work anymore as % is an invalid option

Survival Series when?

I wonder if we could get anime textures to stormworks

17:18

man bro for some reason my code says x.0f instead of the values

So Lua isn't a roblox only code type?

why does it not work i have done everything step by step and it still doesn't work

For some reason my screen is appearing green like the monitor is. Edit: I fixed it just did some mistakes

When I add a string format thing, I get an error. It says, “bad argument #2 to ‘format’ (number expected, not gil)” Everything is copied exactly the same as yours is

I have an idea for mrnjersey new logo an N with stormworks wings and a half ring at the bottom of the logo and it says LUA

i keep getting tick failure...

Where is Mrnjersy?

Im just getting bluescreen lol, ive typed exactly what you have, but its saying attempt to call nil value (field drawtextbox)

Is this still to date?

I get the blue screen whenever I test the monitor. It gives me an error on line 13 saying "Attempt to call a nil value (field "SetColor")". Does anyone know how to fix this? Here is my script. -- Tick function that will be executed every logic tick function onTick() RPS = input.getNumber(1) Battery = input.getNumber(2) Fuel = input.getNumber(3) Temp = input.getNumber(4) end -- Draw function that will be executed when this script renders to a screen function onDraw() w = screen.getWidth() -- Get the screen's width and height h = screen.getHeight() screen.SetColor(0, 0, 0) screen.drawClear() screen.SetColor(200, 200, 200) screen.drawTextBox(1, 1, w, 6, "RPS", -1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 8, w, 6, "Battery", -1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 15, w, 6, "Fuel", -1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 22, w, 6, "Temp", -1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 1, w-6, 6, string.format("%.0f", RPS), 1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 8, w-6, 6, string.format("%.0f", Battery), 1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 15, w-6, 6, string.format("%.0f", Fuel), 1, 0) screen.drawTextBox(1, 22, w-6, 6, string.format("%.0f", Temp), 1, 0) end

I want the next video

@MrNJersey can u copy the script and paste it here as pinned comment for me to copy and paste its ins tormworks because it does not work for me idk why. Every time i start the monitor it says that it has an error PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AND THX

Is this still working?

my text is overlapping

Are you a developer?!?!

Almost everything is in this video accept, how can i make on off input

is this kind of the basics behind coding? just curious I've always thought about learning to code but I'm a little intimidated.

Can you please make a new and simpler way to do I tried twice maybe even more but like I can’t get the logic part done because it’s too hard for me please make a simpler and easier video

how do you cut copy and paste?
