Features

Adds a few snippets and commands for programming in GMod Lua.

Table Utility Snippets

namespace - Emulates a namespace and returns it for use in creating library includes.

namespace nested - Emulates a namespace table within another namespace. No returning.

extends namespace - Includes or references another table and then returns it for extending libraries.

class - Emulates a class using metatables. Should use this within a namespace.

panel - Creates a panel object with some default functionality and registers it to vgui library.

panel inline - Creates a panel with vgui.create and sets some default variables

ent client - Utility for setting up an entity cl_init.lua file

ent server - Utility for setting up an entity init.lua file

ent shared - Utility for setting up an entity shared.lua file

Variable Utility Snippets

delegate - Simple local function for anchoring.

class method - Creates a function on a class object.

static class method - Creates a static function on a class object, virtually no difference between this one and class method but it doesn't have a self option

ENT method - Creates a function on the cl_init.lua file of an entity

panel method - Creates a function on the object created with panel !not panel inline!

static method - Creates a global function

class field - Creates a nicely formatted & anchored variable within the table of a class object(Where it puts the cursor at the end)

let - Creates a local variable with anchoring(Shows up in File Anchors from Comment Anchors)

class table field - Same as clsas field but for table variables within the class table

Commands

Add Region Identifiers - Will add identifiers at the start and end of your selection for organizing code in the Comment Anchors

Requirements

Preface: These are not required but it makes the experience much more enjoyable and less... diggy

HIGHLY suggested you get Comment Anchors AND insert the following anchors into the settings file.

{
    "tag": "{()}",
    "iconColor": "green",
    "highlightColor": "#A8C023",
    "scope": "file",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{__}",
    "iconColor": "blue",
    "highlightColor": "#3ea8ff",
    "scope": "workspace"
},
{
    "tag": "{__t}",
    "iconColor": "blue",
    "highlightColor": "#3ea8ff",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{@}",
    "iconColor": "red",
    "highlightColor": "#F44336",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{-}",
    "iconColor": "red",
    "highlightColor": "#C10000",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{*}",
    "iconColor": "pink",
    "highlightColor": "#35756A",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{+}",
    "iconColor": "orange",
    "highlightColor": "#FFB300",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{=_=}",
    "enabled": true,
    "scope": "file",
    "iconColor": "green",
    "highlightColor": "#64DD17"
},
{
    "tag": "{^}",
    "iconColor": "blurple",
    "highlightColor": "#896afc",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
},
{
    "tag": "{%}",
    "iconColor": "teal",
    "highlightColor": "#03a6a6",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "isRegion": true
}
