Wiremod Documentation

You can extend Expression2 by placing custom Lua files in the lua/entities/gmod_wire_expression2/core/custom/ directory. These files are automatically loaded by the system at runtime.

To support both server-side logic and client-side rendering/functionality, use a dual-file naming convention:

1. Server-side logic: Create a file with the base name (e.g., filename.lua). This file is loaded on the server.
2. Client-side logic: Create a file prefixed with cl_ using the same base name (e.g., cl_filename.lua). This file is automatically transferred to and loaded on the client.

Example File Structure:

• foo.lua (Loaded on the server)
• cl_foo.lua (Transferred to and loaded on the client)

# Example for an extension named 'foo'
foo.lua      -> Server-side
cl_foo.lua   -> Client-side
