Scripting engine with lua

[bknecht]

Introduction

To make things happen in a game and to react on player interaction. There is something called a script engine. With this thing, people can manipulate objects via a script.

Goal

Implement a script engine into the game.

Implementation

Lua is a good thing, and there is already something about it on the ​Ogre wiki. Check it out and think of a way to implement this in an easy way into the game. Also think about network support and how to make objects able to be manipulated.

In the mean time there is a lua interface now in orxonox. It even supports certain static C++ functions. You can for instance call the command executor with any string command.

However there is no way to actually load and use self written scripts. But it is clear that we use lua.

Renamed LuaBind class to LuaState and de-Singletonised it. That way you can create a LuaState anywhere you need one. I also adjusted the Script class that is XML loadable (any kind of code). However there is still no connection to triggers yet. And the C++ interface is very minimal.

Lua-scripts were included years ago.
