I'm not really sure whether this should be in general discussions or here, but I thought I'd mention a guide I found a few years ago for coding Lua files specifically for job plugins. It's Google translated and I have no idea where to find the original, so it takes some educated guessing to understand the meaning in a few places, but it works and the syntax they give is correct. Here it is (unfortunately you need to make an account to access it):
As far as I remember (haven't tried to code a plugin in a few years), the syntax for job plugins is slightly different from standard Lua conventions, but if anyone is having trouble with the guide/isn't sure how Lua works you can check its guide here: Programming in Lua (first edition). One thing that's different between Lua and some other coding languages is that it returns two values instead of one (that tripped me up for a while). The first value is a 0 or a 1 for whether or not the program works and the second value (iirc) is the value it feeds back into your main method.
