| Let's say I have a line of code like this:
southeast = {x = 1, y = -1, chr = "\"}
I want chr to equal the ascii backslash char. I've tried using double backslashes but I still get this error:
Immediate execution
[string "Trigger: "]:70: unfinished string near '"")},'
I've looked into using the function FixupEscapeSequences() but I can't get that to work either. I'm also under the impression that FixupEscapeSequences() is unnesessary in Lua. | | Top |

| In "send to script" backslashes are preprocessed by the client, before it even reaches Lua. So you have to use four of them:
southeast = {x = 1, y = -1, chr = "\\\\"}
