Hello,

This is a suggestion:

Using GM on advanced mode, I barely use DnD actions anymore, other than the "Execute code".

I was thinking it would be a huge time saver if when on advanced mode, the object window should look like this mockup:



I'm not saying this option should be mandatory... rather it would be a nice optional feature for many people. This even looks more professional IMHO.

What do you think?

[nesa_shone]

I agree with you.

[ookami125]

i would love to have this being someone who only uses script but as they said in some forum gm is meant to be more non-programmer friendly so i don't think they would add this any time soon.

[NakedPaulToast]

I like this option. It's been requested dozens of times.

I'm guessing that something like this is a good candidate for GM 9.

[iSeiren]

+1 for this, i NEVER use D+D : /.

No, I like organizing my code into different sections of DnD "Execute Codes", split by DnD Comment commands. This helps me quickly jump to whatever area of code I need to change at rapid succession.

Yes I can see why people would want this, maybe instead they could just include a shortcut to "Execute Code"? Putting it on the first page of the advanced mode DnD options perhaps?

Edit:
Also, iSeiren, you don't need to type "+1" there is a little button on the bottom right of every post where you can show your support for post without having to clog up a thread with posts filled with no useful text.

Edit:
See how nice this is? I can jump to whatever code I want at nothing more than a few clicks.

I vaguely remember one of the guys (Mike or Russel) mention this as a possibility for GM9... Along with other things that can be toggled on/off under an "Advanced" tab in the user options. I may be wrong, however and that it may just be wishful thinking on my part as I too would like to see this implemented!

Something you might like to see... Put this at the very top of one of those codes in the image..
///Suddenly, a TITLE!

About that image, ever since I think GM8.1, you can place a comment on the first line of the code but with three slashes '///Comment' and that comment will be displayed on the d&d panel instead of "Execute a piece of code", so you could avoid putting those comments there.

You can probably get rid of the comments as well.

///Three slashes at the top of the code editor window does this:

Guys... guys... calm down. I use GM8, not 8.1, I cannot do your wizardry. Either way, my point stands.

Wannabe mod. Clicking the '+1' button is never noticed. I prefer to show my support by leaving a reply. Your post wasn't much better than mine.

I have absolutely no intention of modding the GMC, there are far too many idiots here to make it beneficial in any way, I leave modding the GMC to the brave and foolhardy.

Also, you're right, pressing the +1 button isn't anywhere near as attractive as spamming a thread with "yes I agree with you." Also, my post gave a point about how this would effect organization and suggested a different course of action by placing a shortcut to the "Execute Code" DnD option.

Edit:
On a more related note, perhaps YYG could include a small search filter on the coding text input box? Then I could place key words in my code and use the search to highlight it making it much easier to locate the section of code I want to look at.

-Facedesk- You can already do this.

Oh... you can! I always assumed that little magnifying glass was for increasing the size... this makes my life a lot easier!

I'll admit my bad on that one.

[pronoob16]

I think this would actualy be very easy and helpful.

[Big J]

This would make some things much easier so I'd like to see it implemented. However, in some way, we should still be able to combine code with D&D if desired.

Rusty's problem would be solved if the script editor had code folding.

That would actually be a lot nicer and easier to organize.
