Hi,
It has the info you need, just not the exact syntax to know how to use it. I am sure this is clear to people that already know...but tough for a new person that is not a programmer.
Tough luck.....this has afflicted all of us, I was not a Lua programmer when I started either.....and by most measures still not!
Mach4, with its modular structure and Lua scripting language offers a great deal more flexibilty and performance over Mach3 but
it comes at a cost, namely learning curve.
Second issue that you are observing is that the documentation of Mach4 often lags its current state. NFS is a very small company that does not
have the resources to employ a document writer and consequently the documentation has fallen behind. Before you jump up and down just,
weigh the fact that NFS is still releasing new functionality, including script based THC, mcSurface Wizard, Zero Brane editor and mcTouch Off wizard
in the last 12 months alone, verses up-to-date documentation......NFS doesn't have the resources to do both WITHOUT charging a lot more for its
software or some sort of annual subscription.
