Notepad++ Lua Syntax Checker by Talidan

[Ransom]

One thing LuaEdit has that Notepad++ lacks is an Lua syntax checker. This lets you look for general LUA mistakes that are NOT RELATED to MTA scripting before running your script and debugging it inside MTASA. For example it will make sure the end statements balance out and your if comparison operators are valid.

So why use this? It saves you time by detecting silly mistakes before switching windows and going ingame, where you will get the same error messages. The general Lua syntax must be correct before your Lua script works.

Notepad++ syntax check hax

========================

1) Extract the contents of this archive to an appropriate directory. These files need to stay somewhere for notepad++ to call upon.

2) In Notepad++, press F5, and browse to the location of syntaxcheck.bat

3) At the end of the path, add the following parameter:

"$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

So, for example:

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\syntaxcheck\syntaxcheck.bat" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

4) Try a test run. It'll only report something if there's an error. If it works, press F5 and go ahead and press the Save button, and give it a name and optionally a shortcut key

hmm,this is not as comfortable as in 50p's app.. you can't click the error and get your caret moved into line with error.

My installation of Notepad ++ does this automatically, as in it doesn't popup with an error but the lines on the left indicating a function, loop or if statement continue after code if an 'end' is missing. Same with parenthesis

But nice job though

Yes, dzek (Varez), LuaEdit has similar goto line functionality. Notepad++ loses out big on this. Seems a little crazy no plug-in exists, so this is as good as it gets, besides Notepad++'s great tree lines and color schemes as Zango mentioned.

YaY,

This Will obviously Help me, and varez won't Find any of my Silly Questions Over his Head

Thank you

[dzek (varez)]

mta is showing same errors as this while running - and you seems not to understand the errors - so this won't make any difference to you

Thanks friend, Well I hope that I may be useful.

This is good but it cant find all errors. So for me, syntax in game is better.

Yes, it finds Lua errors, not MTA function errors. It can save time, it really depends on your scripting setup. For example I have bound keys to start resources, windowed mode, and dual monitors. Often, it is just easier for me to open console to get off screen and edit some things, click back in, and start.

Is there any Notepad++ plugin that's RELATED to MTA scripting?

There is a Code Highlighting API here, which I also use, but which isn't up to date anymore.
