spellcast to gearswap differences

if your used to spellcast these are the things that are different in gearswap
1. Lua has 3 primary types of values
    String --strings can contain both capitol letters, lower case letters and numbers but thay must be surrounded by eather '' or ""
    example:
        "test"
        'test'
        'Test'
        'tesT'
        'test 999'
    Boolean --booleans only have 2 values true and false
    example:
        true
        false
    Number --these represent a numerical value and can include . and 0-9
    example:
        9
        99
        999
        99.99

2. Lua does not use varables it uses nested-tables iterators and values
    example:
        table1 ={}
        table1.table1b = {}
        table1.table1b.table1c = {}
    tables are located by <tablename>.<iterator> == <value>
    example1:
        table1 = {fire=true}
    when looking for the boolean that fire has you would use
        table1.fire = true or table1.fire
    example2:
        table1 = {}
        table1.table1b = {fire=true}
    when looking for the boolean that fire has you would use
        table1.table1b.fire = true or table1.table1b.fire

    when creating a table you can nest them as deap as you want
    Example1:
        weaponskill = {
                element = {
                Transfixion={
                        Fire = {
                                neck="Light Gorget",
                                waist="Light Belt"
                               },
                            },
                          },
                      }
    the above can also be done like this
    Example2:
        weaponskill = {}
        weaponskill.element = {}
        weaponskill.element.Transfixion = {}
        weaponskill.element.Transfixion.Fire = {}
        weaponskill.element.Transfixion.Fire.neck = "Light Gorget"
        weaponskill.element.Transfixion.Fire.waist = "Light Belt"

    the reason i seporate my thoughts on tables in to nested-tables, iterators and values is because when you look at the 2 tables above to get the value of "Light Gorget"
    you need to look in the table weaponskill.element.Transfixion.Fire then check the iterator neck to get the value "Light Gorget"
    but written in to lua it will just look like weaponskill.element.Transfixion.Fire.neck = "Light Gorget" but the layout is always the same
    <table>.<iterator> = <value>

    also you must remember that every level of a table must be split with a . to denote the next layer

    now if your not using a nested-table like the above
    Exanple:
        a = 1
        b = true
        c = 'value'
        this is still a table but because we do not need to look in a higher table to find our iterator we can just use <iterator> = <value>

3. Advanced string building
    when using a string value you have a choice between using '<string>' and "<string>" but there are some things you need to know
    when using a string and your string includes another "or' it will cause an error
    Example:
        "How are you" --correct
        'How are you' --correct
        "How "are" you" --incorrect
        'How 'are' you' --incorrect
    string do have special characters for use the specific situations like \
    Example:
        "How \"are\" you" --correct
        'How \'are\' you' --correct
        "How 'are' you" --correct
        'How "are" you' --correct

    also when building a string you can use an iterators value to build the string
    example:
        a = 'hello'
        b = 'goodbuy'
        "Someone said "..a == 'Someone said hello'
        "Someone said "..b == 'Someone said goodbuy'
        this can also be done with numbers and booleans but a little more is needed
        example:
            a = true
            b = 999
            "Someone said "..tostring(a) == 'Someone said true'
            "Someone said "..tostring(b) == 'Someone said 999'

4. Basic math on numbers only
    when trying to do math in lua you nee to use specific characters
        - --subtraction
        + --addition
        / --division
        * --multiplication
    Example:
        1 + 1 = 2
        2 - 1 = 1
        1 * 1 = 1
        2 / 1 = 2
        2 * 2 + 4 - 2 / 3 = 2

    if you want to specify specific parts to be done first you need to use ()
    Example:
        2 * 2 + 4 - (2 / 3) = 7.333333333333333
        2 * (2 + 4) - 2 / 3 = 3.333333333333333


5. Lua works in an if-then/elseif-then/else/end sequence block and to trigger thay must be true
        if-then --only one of these (required)
        elseif-then --as many of these as you need (optional)
        else --only one of these (optional)
        end --only one of these (required)

    Example 1(if true,elseif true):
        if true then
            --the code here will be used
        elseif true then
            --the code here will not be used
        end
    Example 2(if false,elseif true):
        if false then
            --the code here will not be used
        elseif true then
            --the code here will be used
        end
    Example 3(if false):
        if false then
            --the code here will not be used
        else
            --the code here will be used
        end
    You can also nest sequence blocks
        Example(if true,second if true):
        if true then
            if true then
                --the code here will be used
            end
            --the code here will be uses as well
        else
            --the code here will not be used
        end
    if you want to do 2 separate things you can use multiple sequence blocks
        Example(if true,second if true):
        if true then
            --the code here will be used
        else
            --the code here will not be used
        end
        if true then
            --the code here will be uses as well
        else
            --the code here will not be used
        end

6. Lua has special commands for some things
    local - makes the given variable local to function and or sequence block instead of making it a global variable
    return - stops processing further code in the function

    if you want to return something to a previous function you can
    Example:
        local <variablename> = testcode()
        function testcode()
            if true then
                return <variable>
            end
        end

7. Info about rules
    I will add to this at a later date.
