Scriptet forsøgte at oprette en global variabel

Dokumentstrengen for scriptingEnableGlobalsProtection angiver, at hensigten er at underrette scriptforfattere om almindelige fejl (ikke ved hjælp af local ).

Det ser ud til, at dette ikke er en sikkerhedsfunktion, så vi har to løsninger:

Man kan fjerne denne beskyttelse:

local mt = setmetatable(_G, nil)
-- define global functions / variables
function alex() return 3.1415 end
-- return globals protection mechanizm
setmetatable(_G, mt)

Eller brug rawset :

local function alex() return 3.1415 end
rawset(_G, "alex", alex)
