• formatting (beta)
• debugger (requires redscript-dap)

configuration

The language server will attempt to load a TOML file named .redscript-ide from every workspace folder. This file can contain some configuration options:

• redscript_dir maps the source directory to a different folder than the workspace folder root
• hooks allows you to configure hooks on certain events, an example would be creating a file to signal something to an external tool
  • for instance, you can trigger a reload of RedHotTools when the workspace successfully typechecks:

    [[hooks.successful_check]]
    # you can use {game_dir} to refer to the game directory if it's configured for the extension,
    # another available variable is {workspace_dir} which refers to the workspace directory that contains the checked file
    create_file = "{game_dir}\\red4ext\\plugins\\RedHotTools\\.hot-scripts"
