    Hi,

    I would like to make a variable in the "variables" section of a jbeam file. But I want the value of this variable to
    be determined by a custom LUA file.
    Is this possible ?

    Thanks

    No, that's not possible like this, variables are handled in the jbeam loader, which is before any other vlua code runs. So at the time you can execute your own code, the magic all already happened.
    Best bet is to look into other ways of achieving this.

    I was already afraid that would be the case but I wanted to ask anyway. Thanks :)
