Scripting: Line Counter

[Gambet]

Maybe a level editor and RC add-on which shows the line that you are currently in as you are scripting. Maybe in like a box on one of the sides or so.

Example:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE   <--While typing this it would read: Line 1

if (created)  <--While typing this it would read: Line 2

  {  <--While typing this it would read: Line 3

  actions;  <--While typing this it would read: Line 4

}  <--While typing this it would read: Line 5

---

Also: Possibly an add-on where everything added (scripted) to/on NC is given a line count number on the side of it.


Would be useful for reading errors given by the GS2 script compiler and would really just make things easier for servers that need to fix certain parts of scripts and they would be able to describe which part is needed fixing by giving the line count (example: Lines 20 through 26) to the NAT(s) of the server.

[Crono]

that would only be useful if you script in that style. some people still do the whole

NPC Code:

---

if (playertouchsme) {message hai;} if (strequals(#a,Gerami)) {if (playerenters) {show;}}

---

[osrs]

I don't think that '//#CLIENTSIDE' should count, but the idea is good.

That is HORRIBLE styling. The longest script I've ever scripted is 204 lines long. If I scripted in that style for 204 lines, I'd go crazy.

Would be better..

The client TextEditor has a line # display on it.

Yes, if people are happy using the client-rc. At least the Linux RC has it.

[URBANLEGEND]

i like this idea, but they should do it like Microsoft Dev C++ with each line having a number on the side.

Look to the left, thats what he means.

Or here, my 1000 dollar program does it :P

That sure as hell beat my 204 line script ;[

It is planned that the Linux-RC will be back-ported to Windows, probably in a few weeks (needs drag&drop stuff like in the Windows RC)

[Fry]

That picture looks like the SDL example.

Some krazy order, but sounds good, that linux RC's great.

Yea, its out of an SDL tutorial.

You guessed that because of the letter SDL everywhere?

The picture.

Why? its half the size gambet, only 102 lines total...

NPC Code:

Ah, I guess I mistook the picture with the URL.

I meant the URL since it has about 300 something lines.

Oh well.

You've got serious mental problems.

sup dawg. u wnt 2 rol wif mi? dawg im down wif dah c++'s and the visual bazicz al 'round dis hewd.

Why do people who complain about people who insult them because the person makes themself out to look like an idiot and then get angry because they are an idiot?
Maybe if you weren't an idiot, people would stop insulting you.

LoL! So True! Hey don't you program in some like crappy programming language? What was it again? And yes i'd love to see this feature!

[xAndrewx]

No language is crappy, you're just to lazy to learn the benefits.

[xAndrewx]

Because you learn something new in each language.

[xAndrewx]

Well, if he doesn't understand the language, wouldn't you 'learn' the language to understand what you're doing?

[Kaimetsu]

Yes. So?

[xAndrewx]

I'm pretty sure I saw GMan post something about not bothering to learn any languages without a reason o_o.

How is this relevant to the claim that "no language is crappy"?

You asked how it was relevant to the subject. I made a mistake by thinking he posted it in this thread. I was wrong.
And why do you learn another language?
A language wouldn't have been invented if it didn't have a purpose.

Having a purpose automatically means that it is not "crappy"?

[xAndrewx]

Would you say a certain language is pointless to learn?

Because you seem to have an opinion that a certain language you do not wish to state is crappy, else you wouldn't let this thread carry on.

How are my opinions relevant to your claim?

So many posts, and still you haven't given an argument for its validity.

All I am saying is
"What is the point in learning a language if you don't gain anything from it?"
