WTF???

Thank you very much for your reply, which makes me look forward to the release of the v3 version,and recently, I ran into a small issue:

setmetatable(_G, {
    __index = function(s, n)
        if(type(s)=="table")then
            <Call GML Function ...>
        end
         return _G[n]
    end
}
);

I want to monitor user access to the Lua script's Table with this code, but it doesn't work

When calling the GML function.

The console prompts the following message :PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to yield from outside a coroutine)

What is the reason for this and how can I solve this problem?

Thanks, excuse me, does the v3 version optimize the performance of function calls? When using Lua, it is inevitable to call functions from GameMaker (such as to check if a key has been pressed, or to determine if two GameObjects have collided), for these operations, the performance overhead is too large (TAT)

Also thank you very much for your tireless efforts to answer a noob's question! XD

Thank you for your response. I understand now. I have another question. For the Windows platform, I need to use `require` to import other Lua script functions for convenient development. However, this method does not support non-ASCII paths. I tried to compile a version that supports non-English paths myself and it worked successfully. Can support for non-English paths be added in Apollo v3?

In general, Apollo does not support passing non-English strings, such as when using `lua_add_file` to add a file with a non-English path. This often results in a file not found error and returns '0' (the same applies to `lua_add_code`).

Just like this:

lua_add_code(state,package.path="+"'"+string_replace_all(ASSETS_DIRECTORY+"Scripts/","\\","/")+"?.lua"+"'");

This is just the cost of calling the Step event for each bullet. If more script functions are added, the game will freeze completely (although I can't rule out the possibility that my computer is a bit slow, but the overhead is a bit excessive) 

(TAT)

Dear YelloAfterLife,

Hello! I'm working on adding external mod support to my game. 

When I create more monsters or player projectiles for the game, the performance cost of using lua_call to invoke Lua script functions in the step event becomes too high.

 Originally, the game runs at 2000 frames per second, but when there are more than 400 bullets in the game scene, the frame rate drops quickly (down to 20 fps). 

Is there any way to optimize this situation? 

I tried using object pools, but I couldn't reset the luaState (Is it possible to add an additional lua_state_reset() function to clear and restore the luaState's code content?). 

Regardless, the performance cost of lua_call is still significant, especially considering that there are more event functions for bullets in the mod. If I enable and call all of them, the game performance would be unbearable (it's terrifying). Do you have any suggestions? 

Thank you.

Best regards,
