About this asset
Friendly Lua Objects provides the developer and/or end user the ability to create data assets with inbuilt functionality, external to the compilation of their game.
This is useful across a wide variety of genres, such as card games, RPG's, roguelikes, and so on, by allowing an incredible variety of build-agnostic possibilities for customization, limited only by what you as the developer allow.
Compatibility information:
Friendly Lua Objects 2.0.0 supports Unity 6000.5.6f1 and is render-pipeline independent. It has been validated in Built-in Render Pipeline and Universal Render Pipeline projects. The included example uses Unity UI and does not contain pipeline-specific shaders or materials.
MoonSharp 3.0.0-beta.1 is bundled with the product. Unity UI 2.5.0 and the built-in Image Conversion module are required and declared as package dependencies. Remove any separately installed MoonSharp package before importing version 2.0.0.
Product-description third-party notice:
Asset uses MoonSharp under the BSD 3-Clause License and contains KopiLua/Lua-derived portions under the MIT License; see Third-Party Notices.txt in the package for details.

Technical details
- Friendly Lua Objects builds on MoonSharp to help you codify your data objects into Lua Scripts, that are then loaded from the Resources or StreamingAssets/Mods folders.
- The creation, directory layout and loading is all automated, so loading the objects in at runtime is as simple as one line of code!
- Native types and strings are supported, as are Sprites.
- Functions may be exposed to the API, allowing for modular functionality within the scripts.
- You can allow or disallow modding, potentially letting players create Characters, Items, Inventories, Cards or whatever objects you decide to codify!
- Tested for Windows 10; any other OS' are untested.
- Most recent documentation available at: https://humanbeangames.github.io/Friendly-Lua-Objects/

Example is set up to run on the default render pipeline; it only uses UI stuff, but all the same is untested on SRP's. That said, this should not affect the usability of the package on SRP's in any way.
