I think the name should be "predefined variables", not "global variables".

But this is a very nice info.

Updated.

Thank you

1. imo, it's better to have just the 2 lists: server/client. this 4-part-shared idea is overcomplicated.

2. what about "self" in methods?

also, i believe there should be some indication, which vars belong to Lua and which introduced by MTA.

Updated.

and ?

What's the point of replaying to it ?

Great informations needed.

Alot of people dont know the types of variables. Maybe you could add some of them? Alsoa dd the tostring etc, people dont know what it does, if you're able to use it etc? (People without any programmings knowledge or web dev's in html/php dont know the tostring, tonumber, int, string, double, float etc)
