Core Lua Scripting API

The Core creator scripting API — a Lua-based developer surface for programming multiplayer game logic in the Core editor. Organized into namespaces (Chat, Storage, Leaderboards, Input, UI, VoiceChat, Game, World) and 100+ types (Player, Weapon, Ability, Vehicle, Inventory, DamageableObject). Not an HTTP/REST API — code runs inside the Core runtime.
