alternative 'action-editor'

I use VSCode, very consistant across all platforms

you might find this interesting:

-- * load an external script file if the file exists! * --

function loadScript(n)

   local f, cerror

   f, cerror = loadfile("./data/lua/" .. n)

   -- + --

   if f == nil then -- checks if file exists!

      print("cerror: " .. cerror) -- prints error reason to the log file!

  else

      print(n, "has been successfully loaded.")

   f()

   end

end 

loadScript("file_name.lua")

I don't understand how it works exactly - well I understand the loading part of the script, but I don't understand the cerror bit works, but it does seem to work.

Normally when you declare variables, you have to manually add the data to each one...

local test1, test2 = "some data", "some data"

print(test1, test2)

otherwise the other variables will return nil, but for some reason cerror returns information if you link to an incorrect file/path.

cerror: cannot open ./data/lua/bleh.lua: No such file or directory
