A new simplified way to make exporter scripts
LuaExporter is a custom exporter plugin for Automation that abstracts the C++ environment and lets users easily create Lua scripts to export necessary data
Usage
- Select luaExporter in Automation’s export manager and click export
- Next you will be asked to select a Lua file to run
- An example script can be found in C:\Users\ [user] \AppData\Local\AutomationGame\luaExporter\ .scripts
- Once complete, the exported files can be found in C:\Users\ [user]\AppData\Local\AutomationGame\luaExporter\ [Folder Name], where [Folder Name] is defined in the exporter screen
Script creation
There are several sources that can help you develop Lua scripts, such as:
- Automation’s debug menu Table Explorer (Press F9 to enable the debug menu)
- csvExporter source code (GitHub - EndfinityDev/csvExporter: An exporter plugin for Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game to build CSV files of players' car data)
- The official exporter documentation (Exporter Plugin SDK - Official Automation Game Wiki)
- The official Exporter SDK (GitHub - AutomationStaff/ExporterSDK)
