Lua for MA3 Custom UI Elements Pt 2 - How to Make Your Own From Scratch
This is part two of my series on coding your own custom UI elements, or pop-ups for the user interface, in GrandMA3 using Lua. As, really, the main part of the series, this video should get you from knowing nothing to being able to confidently get to work on making your own custom UI elements! In the next video I'll show you a more streamlined workflow, but this should get you started!

The file path for the UI files is C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_2.2.5\shared\resource\lib_menus\ui
I'm using GrandMA3 OnPC version 2.2.5.0 and Lua 5.1 in this video.
