Completion, hover help and snippets for writing modules for
CONTROL, the Lua scripting engine for Age of Empires II:
Definitive Edition.
What it does
Adds the CONTROL Lua API to the Lua Language Server:
every function, type and enum with its parameters, return values and a short description.
Adds snippets for the module callbacks and common patterns. Their prefixes are the callback
names (Load, Update, ...) and short names such as control-module, game-options and
ipc-drain.
Setup
Install this extension. VS Code installs the Lua Language Server with it.
Open your CONTROL modules folder, or any folder that contains a module entry file
(*.main.lua or *.main.module).
The extension starts only in such folders. It then adds its API definitions to the folder's
Lua.workspace.library setting, which VS Code stores in .vscode/settings.json.

Description

Adds the CONTROL API definitions to the workspace's Lua.workspace.library setting. Turn it off to manage that setting yourself.
Versions

Changes are listed in the changelog.
