Getting started

Scripting

Lua brings modern scripting to Second Life using Luau, a high-performance typed variant of Lua developed by Roblox. If you’re familiar with Lua, Python, JavaScript, or other modern languages, you’ll feel right at home.

With features like tables, dynamic event handling, multiple timers, coroutines, JSON support, and optional type annotations, scripts are easier to write, debug, and maintain while remaining familiar to both LSL and Lua developers.
