I tried requiring "socket" but the editor just shouts an error saying socket isn't defined.

It's a shame because I was planning on making my game multiplayer.
It doesn't stop there, I won't be able to use any web functionality like leader-boards.

Since Solarus is open-source, I'd like to compile a version with LuaSocket included so that I would be able to do everything I wanted. However, I'm wondering how to do so...


If you could include it in a future build, it would be really appreciated as it it a must-have for any Lua interpreter.

I am trying to get a line-of-sight working for enemies to detect the hero.

I tried using an invisible custom entity going in a strait line towards the hero and stopping at any wall or impassable surface.
This unfortunately didn't go as planned.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a line-of-sight function, probably in sol.main alongside get_distance or maybe directly as a map entity method.


Here's a mockup of how I would use it:

Code Select Expand


function enemy:on_update()
  if self:get_line_of_sight(hero) then
    self.hasLOS = true
  else
    self.hasLOS = false
  end
end
