This doesn't work:

Code:

[ENABLE]
alloc(myvar,4)
registerSymbol(myvar)

{$lua}
writeFloat("myvar","120")
{$asm}

[DISABLE]
dealloc(myvar)
unregisterSymbol(myvar)

When I enable script, myvar is 0.

How to make it assign 120 to a variable when I enable the script?

{$lua} blocks are run before anything else, similar to a preprocessor stage.

Use AA instead:

Code:

[ENABLE]
alloc(myvar,4)
registerSymbol(myvar)

myvar:
dd (float)120.0
...

or if you need to use lua

Code:

[ENABLE]
alloc(myvar,4)
registerSymbol(myvar)

{$lua}
return string.format([[myvar:
dd (float)%f]],120.0)
{$asm}

[DISABLE]
dealloc(myvar)
unregisterSymbol(myvar)
