luaget("varName"); - Read a Lua global variable luaset("varName"); - Write a Lua global variable

From Lua

bl.funcName(args) - Call a TorqueScript function
bl.varName - Read a TorqueScript global variable
bl['varName'] - Read a TorqueScript global variable (with special characters in the name, or from an array)
bl.set('varName', value) - Write a TorqueScript global variable

Accessing Torque Objects from Lua

bl.objectName - Access a Torque object by name
bl[objectID] - Access a Torque object by ID (or name)
bl.objectName.field - Read a field or Lua key from a Torque object
bl.objectName:set('field', value) - Write a field on a Torque object
bl.objectName.key = value - Associate Lua data with a Torque object
bl.objectName:method(args) - Call a Torque object method

Unsafe Mode

BlockLua-Unsafe.dll can be used in place of BlockLua.dll, to remove the sandboxing of Lua code.
This allows Lua code to access any file and use any library, including ffi.
