--So as I pray, Unlimited Stepman Works

--If you need help with lua go to http://dguzek.github.io/Lua-For-SM5/API/Lua.xml there are a bunch of codes there
--Also check out common it has a load of lua codes in files there
--Just play a bit with lua its not that hard if you understand coding
--But SM can be an ass in some cases, and some codes jut wont work if you dont have the noteskin on FallbackNoteSkin=common in the metric.ini
