PipeWrench Modeler is both a TypeScript definitions generator for Lua files for Project Zomboid and a human assistance tool for improving what comes out of the generator. The generator converts Lua files into TypeScript definitions for the PipeWrench development environment.

Models are instructions provided by humans that are digested by the generator. These models provide information that helps define what the generator cannot identify and understand, such as parameter names, function returns, etc. Models are stored in a JSON format.
