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.
