One way is to place files in your `garrysmod/lua/autorun` directory, and they will be run automatically when you enter single player. This can get messy though, another way to run lua is by making a folder in `garrysmod/addons//lua/autorun`, and placing your scripts in that (i.e. so that `garrysmod/addons/my_first_addon/lua/autorun/hello.lua` is a valid file). As it turns out, all folders under `garrysmod/addons/` get reflected! This means that if you have a file `garrysmod/addons/data/pac3/my_pac.txt` it will appear in the pac editor and a pac you can load! - -This is the method used by addons for Artery. Since Garry's Mod loads addons's autorun BEFORE gamemodes, Artery uses the `data/artery/global/` folder to run scripts after the gamemode as loaded (and therefore has access to the nrequire() function, more on this later). - -## Lets get started - -Start by creating a new folder under `garrysmod/addons/` called `artery_rougelite`. We'll be using this folder for the rest of the tutorials to build a small rougelike gamemode to explore the different features artery provides. - -Now create another folder under the folder you just made `garrysmod/addons/artery_rougelite/data` - -Now another `garrysmod/addons/artery_rougelite/data/artery/` - -And another `garrysmod/addons/artery_rougelite/data/artery/global/` - -With the folder structure set up, we're ready to actually write some lua. - -Create a file `garrysmod/addons/artery_routelite/data/artery/global/helloworld.txt` - -and copy+paste the following code into it. - -``` -print("Hello, world!") -``` - -Now start up garrysmod with the Artery gamemode selected. Head into flatgrass or something. Open your console, you should see "Hello, world!" printed. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
