Suggestions for future revisions of Studio

Has it been mentioned to get the auto suggest to work with include files? Or was that just text highlighting?

1) a function, call tracking! With huge code listing it's often hard to found the function or call definition... it's a standard feature in most of programming soft.

I second that remark. Why can't we do this?

PUSH:
   {
   //   CODE CODE CODE
   IF(Some Condition)
      {
       //do something
      }
   ELSE
      {
       // do something else
      }
   }  // end PUSH:

PUSH:
{
//   CODE CODE CODE
IF(Some Condition)
{
//do something
}
ELSE
{
// do something else
}
}  // end PUSH:

Imagine, if you didn't indent both braces, you'd only have to hit it 3-4 times.

I haven't seen the issue you're talking about though. I'll have to play around with it. And you say it's only for older code, and doesn't happen with new code?

Auto indent is broke or doesn't work the same way. It goofes up my old code and drives me crazy. I do want it on, because I don't like hitting tab 4 and 5 times on each line.

I'm one of those poeple who indents both braces.

ex.

PUSH:
   {
   //   CODE CODE CODE
   IF(Some Condition)
      {
       //do something
      }
   ELSE
      {
       // do something else
      }
   }  // end PUSH:

However, whenever I re-open a project written this way, here's what the code editor brings up.

PUSH:
{
//   CODE CODE CODE
IF(Some Condition)
{
//do something
}
ELSE
{
// do something else
}
}  // end PUSH:

...very annoying with some of the complex functions I do...

If I turn off auto-indent, it will 'sometimes' leave my formatting alone. But, like I said, it's more annoying to bang on the tab key for every line.

You know what would be a useful feature? An auto-format button. You click it, it scans the code you currently have open, and arranges the tabs/brackets/carriagereturns into the official AMX format. Flash has this feature for ActionScript.

I probably wouldn't use it on my own code, because my formatting style is different than the approved AMX style, but for programmers who inherit code from other programmers that is formatted differently than expected, it would be very very useful. Also if you change your editor settings and your tab spacing is thrown off, this button would be a one click fix.

I thought that someone would have mentioned this, but couldn't find it. It's a minor nuisance but it bothers me:

DEFINE_FUNCTION fnSomeFunction()
{
      STACK_VAR nVar1
      STACK_VAR INTEGER nVAR2
      STACK_VAR INTEGER nVar3, nVar4, nVar5
}

All declarations are legal, but nVar1 get's no syntax highlighting, nVar2 and nVar3 do and nVar4 and nVar5 don't. Same goes for other types and other places where STACK_VAR's are used

When not specifying the type the compiler assumes LOCAL_VAR's
