What is Luny?

Luny (/ˈluːni/) enables you to write Lua scripts in Unity as an alternative to C#. The UnityEditor and UnityEngine APIs are available in Lua.

Scripts hot reload automatically when you save. Hot reloading works with Editor and Runtime scripts, and even in builds.

Runtime Script Example

Receive event callbacks merely by matching the Unity event's name:

local script = ...

script.Awake = function()
    -- create an instance from a Inspector assigned prefab
    script.go = Object.Instantiate(script.InspectorPrefab)
end

script.Update = function()
    -- make it move slowly to the right
    local pos = script.transform.position
    pos = pos + Vector3(0.1, 0, 0)
    script.transform.position = pos
end
