This is a freely distributed copy of SciTe Editor with many modifications.

The version of the scite editor is SciTe Version 1.63 (Modified for WoW + Lua)

With the introduction of API, keywords and function calltips were made easy. I modified lua.properties to include the calltip references to the wow.api I created. What this allows you is the ability to call functions within a "saved" .lua script that you are working on to easily reference the functions, as well as help provide you help with proper syntax.

WoW SciTe Lua contains full functional LUA script "inserting", "syntax checking", highlighting, and the latest 5.0 compiler. However, this is a project that is just in it's infancy, so expect a lot of great changes in the future.

There is no dependency information for this file.

Version 1.2

What’s New:

Customized API files
 You can now create your own customized api file so that you are able to call private functions that you use in your own mod.
 How it works:
o Open up Version 1.2.
o Go to Tools > User Calltip Entries

The following will appear:

_VERSION current private .api for your own mod functions.
_EXAMPLE a current example is listed below this line of how the syntax should appear for your function. Erase the function after you've gotten the hang of it.
WoWExampleFunction (dosomething) Example: ExampleFunction(YAY) Description: This is an example function.

When creating your own call tips, there are only two steps that need to be done, but I'm outlining a third only because it "SHOULD" be done. This helps the users of your private functions to understand them when they use them in the editor.

NOTES: This should all take place on one line. Do not perform a line break.

Step One: Create your function

WoWExampleFunction (do something)

This function will show up in the call tip box as you begin to type it, and it references the exact syntax that is necessary to complete the function.

Step Two: Create an example

WoWExampleFunction (YAY)

Next, provide an example function right beside this one so that other users will understand what it's purpose and use is for. This example shows up beneat the call tip box so it will not be propogated into the statement. In addition, you can provide more examples if need be.

Step Three: Create a description

Finally, provide a description of why you use the function and what it's purpose is. You can be brief or long.


Advanced Call Tips

This section is for call tips that go beyond the normal spectrum. Let's look at a different type of a call tip:

GetLootMethod() lootMethod, lootMaster Example: lootMethod, lootMaster = GetLootMethod() Description: Returns the style and loot master for looting.

Now, let's take it apart.

GetLootMethod() is the function.
lootMethod, lootMaster are variables that will eventually call the function.

In the example, lootMethod, lootMaster = GetLootMethod(),
-- this basically shows you how it's going to be used.

Finally, the description gives you a brief overview of how to use it.
