"A Fine Mint" issue. LUA

@PierceQuantum I don’t have the time right now to figure out why but here is a forum post talking about the issue:

Vital Powers and Functions in Lua

My code does not work. In the lua version of this level, functions are not documented yet and the sample code has not been translated to lua. This aside, I have attempted to figure out how to use functions from external sources. the issues i am having are that my character does not respond at all. Apparently I don’t know how to call functions in lua. Here is my code, can any more experienced players and coders tell me what i’m doing wrong? local function pickUpNearestCoin() local items = se…

Basically set all functions up as local for now as in:

local function someFunction () 
    -- Your LUA code here
end

and then call them by using a local variable assignment such as:

while true do
    local a = someFunction()
end

And your code will start to work!

When I get more time I will look into why, and if there is a better way to do this.
