#summary Overview of libraries for writing Lua scripts in Hedgewars

= Lua libraries =

== Introduction ==
Libraries in scripts in Hedgewars are Lua files that are used by many scripts to add a common function, as an example the `Locale` library that allows scripts to translate text. The variables in these files are not exposed to the script using it but all the functions can be called.

== Usage ==
To use a library you only need to add this function call at the top of the script:
<code language="lua">HedgewarsScriptLoad("Scripts/<Library Name>.lua")</code>
Where `<Library Name>` is replaced by the name.
