Currently, the Script Editor does not support function/method call highlighting which makes it slightly hard to distinguish between the two.
Here is an example
something.SomeFunction()
something:SomeFunction()
What would be a great way of displaying it
How it currently appears
Usecase example
Consider the following case
-- what it is currently:
part.Destroy()
-- what it should be:
part:Destroy()
If the variable on the left or right was highlighted in a different color (take a look at the first image I’ve uploaded please), it would prevent making simple mistakes which usually would become apparent only at runtime.
This would significantly boost my code writing speed by allowing me to distinguish faster and better between the normal variable and the function/method call. I would also not have to examine the code closely to distinguish between a colon ( : ) and a period ( . )
