Robust script editor
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2005 6:44 amFirst off, awesome tool. First class all the way.
Now on to the wish list.
I've been using Microsoft's Visual Studio for personal and professional development for several years, so I'm a bit spoiled, keep that in mind.
The only thing I've found lacking in GE is the script editor. I'd like to see the script editor de-coupled from the actor in such a manner that I can open the editor all by itself without selecting an actor and scroll through the code I've written for *all* actors. I almost never use wizards, as I prefer to write my code by hand since most wizards tend to over-bloat the code (that's directed at Microsoft, not GE). It'd be nice if I could have a couple of comboboxes at the top, one for the actor, and one for the event and just be able to select from those and have the editor jump to that section of code while still being able to scroll up and down between the various actors' code. I'm not sure how you've implemented this, so I can't say if it'd be a big deal to change it or not, but hey, it's a wish list.
Anyway, that's my $0.02.
