What is a Lua Context?

A Lua Context is a ScriptableObject asset through which you can configure the Lua State. Luny creates all Lua states through a Lua Context.

Some elements you can configure in a context:

• Search paths
• Sandbox toggle
• Select which Lua libraries to load
• List of Lua Modules to load

For the time being, Luny offers three built-in contexts:

• Editor (unrestricted, UnityEditor and UnityEngine APIs)
• Runtime (sandboxed, UnityEngine API)
• Modding (sandboxed, no Unity APIs)

This will certainly be made more flexible in the future. Please make requests and state your use-cases so I can best accomodate them.
