Global functions

return	function	description
	require(string path)	Include another lua file. This is equal to just past in the file on this row.
	setRestoreData(nil data)	Set restore data object. if data is set and the Lua script crashes the restore function is called with the first parameter being the restore data object. If nil is set as data no restore function is called upon a Lua script crash.
nil,nil	ipairs(table tab)
nil,nil	pairs(table tab)
nil,nil	spairs(table tab)
	assert(object input1,string output)	if input1 is false or nil, it will raises an error and print the output message
	abort()	crashes the lua script
	abort(string message)	crashes the lua script with a message
string	type(nil variable)	returns the type name of the lua object
	print(string msg)	Print to console
	print(Text msg)	Print to console
bool	doLineCollide(Line3D line)	Do a collision against the entire world.
VectorVec3	createHullList3d(Mesh aMesh)	Convert a mesh into a 3d hull.
VectorVec2	createHullList2d(Mesh aMesh)	Convert a mesh into a 2d hull.
Matrix	generateRotationMatrix(float x, float y, float z, float rotation)	Create a rotation matrix.
Camera	ConvertToCamera(SceneNode node)	Typecast node to camera.
Panel	convertToPanel(LuaObject node)	Typecast node to Panel.
bool	getScreenPosInsideAnyForm(Vec2 pos)	Return if the screen cordinate is inside any visible form.
bool	tobool(bool value)	Convert input to boolean.
bool	tobool(float value)	Convert input to boolean. 0 is false every thing else is true
bool	tobool(string value)	Convert input to boolean. "true" is true everything else is false
number	tonumber(number value)	Convert input to number.
number	tonumber(bool value)	Convert input to number. return 0 or 1
number	tonumber(string value)	Convert input to number.
number	tonumber(Text value)	Convert input to number.
number	tonumber(nil value)	Convert input to number.
number	tonumber(Object value)	Convert input to number.
string	tostring(nil)	Convert input to string.
string	tostring(boolean value)	Convert boolean to string.
string	tostring(string value)	Convert string to string.
string	tostring(table tab)	Converts a table to string. can handle number,string,boolean,Vec2,Vec3,Vec4 and tables. The Table must be in a tree structure, as recursion will create an error
string	tabToStrMinimal(table tab)	Converts a table to string. return a minimalistic string without unnecessary spacing and line breaks. return like "{param1=1,param2=23}".
table	totable(string str)	Must be Lua legal code and start with a table like table = {param1=1,param2="str"}. can handle number,string,boolean,Vec2,Vec3,Vec4 and tables. The Table must be in a tree structure, as recursion will create an error.
Vec2	tovec2(string str)	Convert String of format "Vec2(1,2)"
Vec3	tovec3(string str)	Convert String of format "Vec3(1,2,3)"
Vec4	tovec4(string str)	Convert String of format "Vec4(1,2,3,4)"
number	getActiveScriptCounterTable()	return the count of running script
{ name=string(), time=number(), count=number() }	getScriptTimeTable()	return a table of all script and amount of work time
{ name=string(), time=number(), count=number() }	getGroupScriptTimeTable()	return a table of all script and amount of work time

Global functions (map creation)
