ALE API Documentation [-] [+]

Script your server in Lua.

ALE (AzerothCore Lua Engine) lets you hook the events of a running world - a player logging in, a creature dying, a table being loaded - and answer them in Lua. Add a command, give a creature new behaviour, patch a data table in memory. If the hook exists, you can script it.

Getting started

  1. 1 Clone AzerothCore, if you have not already.
  2. 2 From its modules directory, run 
    git clone https://github.com/azerothcore/mod-ale.git mod-ale
  3. 3 Run CMake, then build. Your Lua scripts go in lua_scripts.

Support lives in the #ac-lua-engine channel of AzerothCore's Discord. If you would rather write typed code, there is eluna-ts.
