Rutah Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm in the process of developing an editor for papyrus scripts. At the moment it only has very basic functionality but does support syntax highlighting, section folding, and the ability to execute the papyrus compiler through the program. I would appreciate any input on ideas people might have for features to be implemented. My ultimate goal is to implement a feature similar to the IntelliSense found in Visual Studio.

acidzebra Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Well, if I _am_ messing around with papyrus it's usually in notepad++, your software seems to be on par with that in terms of functionality (at least for papyrus). CK wiki integration might be nice to have, or general googling, right-click any given bit of syntax and see the corresponding wiki entry, perhaps locally cached after the first lookup? Or perhaps automatic lookup in a special pane. I find myself flipping back and forth to the CK wiki all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutah Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Well, I am trying to mimic Visual Studio's IntelliSense feature. This screenshot should explain what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myztikrice Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Will it recommend all functions that can be used? Like if I create a Ref property PlayerRef and type PlayerRef. it will show what commands I can call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander9009 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I really like the idea of an optional second pane for the wiki entry for one main reason, while the IntellieSense-esque goal is definitely a great feature to include, the wiki entry will have examples. Having a separate pane which automatically switches to the function you're using so you can see not only the syntax, but and example of it in use, would be pretty useful.

As far as adding a web browser in for the official wiki, I don't see the inherent need for it since you can stick the editor and a browser side by side.

Xander9009 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If it would be too difficult, then I wouldn't worry about it. But the difference between having it built in and just putting the windows next to each other is how I was saying the CK pane would automatically load whatever event/function you're using. If it was cached locally, the load times would be near instant. But seriously, it was just a random idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be difficult at all to implement, I just don't see a reason for it because the code completion tool I'm writing will give you the same information as the wiki.

Xander9009 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ah, I see. I didn't realize you were already going to show examples and return values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soolie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Oh wow, I can't wait for this. I normally just use the default CK papyrus editor, which can be a real pain sometimes :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
