# LuaScript

The name of a Lua script to run to determine whether a record or pair of records should be included in the output from the ESP task.

The script must define a function with the name `pred`. The function must return either `true` or `false`.

The response to the result of the function depends on the type of ESP task.

ESP task | Result if the function returns true
--- | ---
And | The record pair is included in the engine output track.
AndAny | The record in the first track is included in the output. (Records from the second track are never included in the output).
AndNot | The record in the first track is discarded. (Records from the second track are never included in the output anyway.)
AndNotThen | The record in the first track is discarded. (Records from the second track are never included in the output anyway.)
AndThen | The record pair is included in the engine output track.
AndThenAny | The record in the first track is included in the output. (Records from the second track are never included in the output).
Combine | The record in the second input track is combined with the record in the first input track and both are included in the output.
Deduplicate | The second record is discarded.
Filter | The record is included in the engine output track.
