This is an absolutely massive break for ROBLOX game developers all across the community. Markers on the scroll bar for errors/find results/etc. was one of, if not the, best features of other code editing programs such as Visual Studio.
And now we can finally use it in ROBLOX! Sure, we do have to opt into the beta manually, but that’s not a problem for me, I’ll still use it. Let’s just hope the rest of the development community likes the change. (because there’s probably going to be that one person, let’s be real)
Also, since I didn’t see mentions of them in the original post, is this going to potentially expand to Breakpoints and “TODO” comments?
Wow, this really well be very helpful!! No more takin 10 mins to fix a little bug! Thanks , I’ll waiting for more interesting and supportive updates for scripters!!
Since you guys are doing some script editor updates, would you mind giving a look to the bug where local variables don’t show inside functions? Take this code for example
local var1 = "string"
local function test()
local var2 = nil
var2 = ... -- here, var2 doesn't show in autocomplete but var1 does.
end
We definitely intend on looking at other functionality we can add to the scrollbar, including breakpoints / TODO-type comments. We have our hands full with a lot of Script Editor projects right now though, so this won’t be a priority for a little bit
This will save so much time as instead of having one error being told at you at a time on the bottom of your screen, you can easily identify where they’re at with a visual example! Now I don’t have to hassle a lot fixing big scripts!
This is a great new feature. I cannot tell you the amount of times where I have had an issue but it has not shown up so I have had to view the whole script for the error.
, I’ll waiting for more interesting and supportive updates for scripters!!
