As far as I know though, all of the popular ones use a similar scoping mechanism to Lua. The primary difference is that most languages default to local scoping while Lua defaults to global scoping.
The following are essentially equivalent:
Lua:
Code:
do
local varName = 1;
end
C/C++:
Code:
do {
int varName = 1;
}
Python:
Code:
def aFunc ():
varName = 1
It seems to me that you are confusing the Lua "local" keyword with the C/C++ "static" keyword.
Edit: If you need 60 local variables, you are doing something wrong. Is there a reason you can't just show us the code you have right now so that we might suggest a better method? |
I've never encountered any scripting or programming languages that have a 60 variable limit. This is the first time.
There's really nothing interesting to see in my code. I just have a lot of variables. Some of them could be condensed by an efficient bitmasking operation, but it seems Lua only has extremely slow function based ones.

also may i ask what are you Checking OnUpdate that requires more than 60 values just sounds inefficient to me to start with

What do you hope to see? And why? It's completely irrelevant to the question at hand. All I'm asking for a way to have >60 local variables. I'm not sure what more information is needed then that.
If you think there's some easy way to "fix" my code to not need this many values.. trust me, there isn't.
