    Hey! Is there any way to send a game engine command from LUA ?

    such as thePlayer.SetTransform("0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"); ?

    Is it possible to implement this like it's done in Javascript?

    Well you can execute js can't you?
    It would be the worst workaround of all times but you could build a string where a ts function gets executed with a js function and execute that as js.

    Well since what I'm programming is in Lua, is it possible to execute JS From Lua?

    Code:
    obj:executeJS("your_js_foo_here()")
    as is said: uglies workaround ever.
    also slow as hell.
