Lua in Plugins Tweet

[prehabitat]

I'm Certain this has been covered by either development logs for standalone or plugins, but unfortunately when searching for "Lua Plugins" using forums advanced search function with 'all terms' option enabled it still ignores "plugin" ...

Question: Can Lua scripts be accessed from within the plugins?

(namely Revit & Rhinoceros)


Thanks!

No, the Octane's Lua scripting interface can't be interfaced by the plugins. The reason is that it wouldn't make much sense, because the node graphs are generated on-the-fly by the plugins and aren't static as in a Standalone project. You also can't see how they look like, how nodes are named etc. and their structure may change any time.

So in a nutshell: We can't see any use of Lua scripting in the plugins and therefor never exposed it in the API.
