From the LUA reference manual: "There are eight basic types in Lua: nil, boolean, number, string, function, userdata, thread, and table."
So, back to my original point - no 'luaindex'. There is no unit32 in lua, but there is in C, which is what we're using the LUA scripting language to interact with. The application is 32 bit, so I wouldn't try passing a 64-bit value to a 32-bit application.
You're right about the integer ranges, good catch. I haven't used 0 as an integer in years. Its far more efficient to type it as a boolean/bit and save the other 31/63 bits
