Lua for MA3 Ep 9 - Handle-ing GrandMA3 Objects

In this video I'm FINALLY addressing the big topic - how to use Lua handles to, well, handle, MA3 objects. This is the key information you'll need to bring everything together and really start making use of Lua for all kinds of things in MA3. From finding and changing names, commands, notes, and more on pretty much every type of object in MA3 to figuring out what data exists and how much of it can be changed, this video has all the answers!

I'm using GrandMA3 OnPC version 2.1.1.5 and Lua 5.1 in this video.
