Not recommended. Depends on script.

cs2d cmd

luareset

dofile("sys/lua/server.lua")

It's impossible to have desired effects when a Lua script is edited without restarting your server because the way CS2D it's designed. Lua is implemented only in the server side.

You could instantiate a map change to the same map. Won't restart the server, but it will update the script.

cs2d cmd

changemap

You can use dofile as user

Gaios suggested. It is even possible to run that with the console if you use cs2d lua cmd

parse - you could even bind reloading of a specific script to a key.

The problem with this is that it won't clean up the Lua VM and old declared variables will stay there. So this might lead to confusing results but it really depends on how you work and what you do.

Therefore map change or server restart (both is technically the same) is recommended.

There's also cs2d cmd

luareset to reset the Lua VM. Afterwards you could load your scripts again manually. I think cs2d cmd

luareset leads to crashes/problems in some cases though.
