Torque In-game Script Editor (very early development)

Ok, well last night I finished my massive tutorial on creating the Physics demo (weighing in at about 80 - 95 estimated print pages in its html format)... so today I figured I'd give this a shot...

An In-engine script editor... well right now I use notepad and wordpad whole lot lol, so I'm not use to fancy syntax highlighting, I might try and integrate that as well (so if you like syntax highlighting pick up JEdit or something similar)... heres some pics... Its basically a large guiMLTextEditCtrl...

I have an exec, open, and save button...

they will bring up a file list (just like the one in the gui editor) and allow you to click and then save/open... and even have a simple exec one (so you can write a script file, exec it, and then test it instantly (note: some things don't work well exec'd in game...

Nothing fancy, just a few hours of working on file handling code, gui code, snatching some of the GUI editor file list code, etc...

figured I'd throw some pics up for now


here is just the editor opened

this is after clicking the open button

opened the "client.cs" file

creating a script file from scratch to test

saving it as test.cs

after saving i hit the "exec" button so now I can execute it while in engine

here are all the echo console satements (note the top text.... the
echo("test .....
etc etc... those are just debug echo's after I write the file... as you can see the echos work at the bottom



the parsing won't be too hard with the syntax highlighting (function seperating) - recently created a torquescript database so used to parsing, though the real-time updating is the tricky part, making sure the scroll remains and nothing freaks out as it updates, etc.... but no garantees, I'll try to post the gui files (the scripting is in there too) later tonight if anyone wants it (though again no fancy syntax highlighting :))
