Slightly off topic, but I'm guessing one way to get everything onto one state would be to append the name of the script to every common function call.<div><br></div><div>So like nautilusUpdate() or nautilus_update() instead of update()</div>

</div>Fair enough. (: I was worried about the ~60k/state just from registering<br>
all the interface functions, but entityinclude by itself looks like it<br>
takes up 20k/instance, so that could cancel out the loss all on its own.<br>
I've implemented the code for your suggestion locally, and I'm working<br>
through the scripts now (which are going to be a gigantic commit, heh).<br>
<br>
On a tangent, and mostly out of curiosity: What's the state of the<br>
ParticleEffectScript stuff in ScriptInterface.cpp? It's all inactive<br>
as far as I can tell; I had to comment it out for the new Lua state<br>
code because I wasn't quite sure how it was intended to work. Is it<br>
something that could be useful if I integrated it into the new code, or<br>
should I not worry about it?<br>
