loadstring

functionimplementedavailable in: camelot

Parse a string as Lua code and return it as a reference to a function. func, errorMessage = loadstring("luaCodeBlock"[, "chunkName"]);

The client has this function, but Blizzard's documentation leaves it out, so its parameters and results aren't known.

Parameters

name	type	description
`luaCodeBlock`	string	a string of Lua code. Can be very long.
`chunkName`	string	optionally name the code block. Will be shown as the "file name" in error messages. If not given, the file name will be "[string: first line of your Lua code here...]".
`func`	function?	nil if there was a syntax error in the code block
`errorMessage`	string?	will contain an error message if func was nil.
