Setting Up an External Editor

HALion includes a basic text editor for scripts. If you want to use advanced features and code highlighting, you can set up and use an external editor.

Procedure

In the Options Editor, in the Scripting section, click Browse for External Editor and select the application that you want to use.

Result

If you now open a script by clicking Edit Script in the editor for the Lua Script module, it is opened in the external editor.

Note

A Lua script must be saved to disk before it can be opened in an external editor.
