Is there a Lua to Jass converter?

[IronBladeClan]

I've found plenty of talk about converting Jass to Lua, but what about the other way around?

I guess I'm specifically looking for something that spits out Jass I can paste into the World Editor. I want to use YDWE PK, but it seems like it doesn't really support Lua.

On the other hand, I'm willing to learn Lua, because I'm also writing a mod for another game in it, and I've started thinking it's actually useful to know, but I don't really want to learn Jass, so I'd rather just generate Jass for YDWE from Lua I've written.

I've even run across a Python to Lua converter, but again, Lua isn't really the final product that seems to be universally valid in wc3 editors - it's jass that I need.

Any 100% accurate tools out there? Anyone know how to do it?

In versions past 1.31 (Classic) and into 1.32 and beyond (Reforged), you can make maps in Lua mode with World Editor. This can be implemented under the "Scenario" -> "Map Options" like this:

You can use Lua code if you disable JassHelper and enable Reforged functions in the YDWE PK config.

Is there a Lua to Jass converter?

lep had implemented a Lua VM in Jass. It can execute Lua code while running on Jass.
A simple conversion is not possible, because Lua is a more complex and dynamic language.
