    How to access variables on lua from a different directory?

    e.g:

    plugin
    stuff
    my_file.lua​
    morestuff
    the_file_i_want_to_access.lua

    ​
    How would I use a
    include("");
    to access "the_file_i_want_to_access.lua" from "my_file.lua"



    ????? help

    Create the variable as a global one. That is, don't put "local" before it. Then you will be able to access it just like any other variable.

    Okay I'll try that thank you.


    It's still printing the error in the console:
    Couldn't include file 'cl_data' (File not found) (@gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/betterviewdata/plugin/entities/entities/cw_terminal/init.lua (line 7))

    any ideas?



    I want to access a lua file and varaible from:
    (@gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/betterviewdata/plugin/entities/entities/cw_terminal/init.lua (line 7))
    here

    and the lua i'm running is in:
    (@gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/betterviewdata/plugin/entities/entities/cw_terminal/init.lua (line 7))
    here
