tolua# is a Unity Lua static binding solution that uses reflection-based code analysis to automatically generate wrapper classes for calling C# and Unity APIs from Lua. It maps C# constants, variables, functions, properties, classes, and enums into Lua with minimal GC overhead.

Use cases

• bind C# code to Lua in a Unity game
• script Unity game logic in Lua
• generate Lua binding wrappers for Unity APIs
• hot-update game logic via Lua scripts
• call Unity engine classes from Lua without reflection at runtime

When to choose

• you need fast, low-GC Lua interop in Unity
• you want automatic binding code generation instead of manual wrappers
• you need broad Unity type support including delegates, events, enums, and coroutines

When to avoid

• your project targets Unity versions beyond 5.x without testing
• you prefer a reflection-based dynamic binding like ulua
• you need a maintained solution with recent Unity support
