What is newproxy() and how do i use it?
I found this function in the Script Editor and there is no documentation. I know it is a userdata, but how can you use it in scripts in a real way? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Quoting from a devforum post...
..you can use it to make custom object behaviour. using newproxy(true) will create a empty userdata which you can set the metatable to customize it's behaviour.

I know that already, but I will accept this as an answer because this is the only way everyone knows. Thanks for answering my question still! FunctionalMetatable 490 — 3y
