GTA V Chaos Mod: Custom Lua Effects
A collection of custom scripts designed to hook into the GTA V Chaos Mod framework. This project serves as both a playground for chaotic gameplay ideas and a practical way to explore game scripting.
📌 Project Overview
The goal of this repository is to expand the existing pool of effects in the GTA V Chaos Mod. These scripts introduce new world events, player debuffs, and unpredictable environmental changes using the Lua scripting language.
🧠 What I Am Learning
This project is a hands-on exercise in game modding and logic design. Through this repo, I am developing skills in:
- Lua Scripting: Understanding syntax, tables, and functional programming within a sandboxed environment.
- Game State Manipulation: Learning how to interface with the GTA V engine to modify entities, weather, physics, and player variables in real-time.
- Event-Driven Programming: Managing how effects trigger, duration timers, and cleanup processes to ensure the game doesn't crash.
- Problem Solving: Debugging complex interactions where multiple scripts might attempt to modify the same game value simultaneously.
🛠️ Current Focus
- Creating unique "Twitch-integrated" style effects.
- Optimizing scripts to maintain high frame rates during high-chaos events.
- Learning the native GTA V "Natives" (API functions) to unlock deeper control over the game world.
