Great to see this update! Now on to Hollywood 9.0 support

I tried it as well and I can confirm Clyde's answer as it works here as exepected, too. In addition, if you change

Code: Select all

newOOPInstance = myOOP:NewInstance()

to

Code: Select all

Global newOOPInstance = myOOP:NewInstance()

(or Local)
pressing F12 on "newOOPInstance" in "newOOPInstance:SomeFunction()" the cursor will jump to the correct line with the definition. Note that declaring a variable "Local" or "Global" is needed for this feature to be able to recognize it.

Finally your wish came true. I just release the new version (9.0.0) of the hw4vsc extension. The update should be visible in the Extension tab of Visual Studio Code for those who have it installed already.

Additionally it seems wise to change the Hollywood executeable from "Hollywood.exe" to "Hollywood_Console.exe" (see https://github.com/JohnArcher/vscode-ho ... xecuteable),so debug output is redirected to Visual Studio Code's console (much nicer!).
Also, with the new "-printerror" argument of Hollywood you can output (the first) syntax error the VSC console as well (assuming you use Hollywood_Console.exe) (example shown here: https://github.com/JohnArcher/vscode-ho ... tasks.json).

Have fun!

Very nice, congratulations on the release!

ah, thanks for the update again. I have changed into using Visual Studio Code for my Hollywood programming pretty much completely after I tried your extension.

@Andreas: Thank you!

@Bugala: Great to hear! Do you still have the problem you reported last time?

Thanks for the update! I hope you have enough energy to include inline help soon. Anyway this is a great job.

[Clyde]

You're welcome, tolkien!

Well, there is so much to do ... Inline is also on my help, but probably I will need some help from Andreas for this feature (mainly exporting the help texts), but I will contact him once I am ready for this one.

Short and sweet: I released the new version (10.0.2) yesterday evening, which contains intellisense/code completion for all inbuild Hollywood functions and preprocessors with extensive quick info help (1000 thanks to Andreas!). 1000 thanks also to Michi Rupp for his support.

If the suggestions are not displayed immediately after starting VS Code, give the system a few seconds. A lot of data (help texts) have to be loaded.

I hope it runs smoothly for everyone. If not, please contact me here or create a ticket on GitHub.

Happy coding!

Thanks a lot for the update, the new intellisense/code completion for all inbuilt Hollywood functions really makes editing Hollywood scripts very convenient with VS Code now, very good job!
