Pawn Helper

Pawn Helper adds lightweight editor support for Pawn projects in Visual Studio Code.

Features

• Registers Pawn files with .pwn, .inc, and .module extensions.
• Highlights color literals written as 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, and {RRGGBB}.
• Highlights any named #define that contains a color value, including 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, {RRGGBB}, RRGGBB, and RRGGBBAA.
• Shows inline value hints next to uses of named #define, const, and enum constants with simple integer or float values.
• Provides go to definition for indexed Pawn symbols.
• Indexes functions, globals, defines, enum members, and dialog declarations.
• Supports paired navigation between global implementations and foreign declarations.
• Highlights SQL keywords and mysql_format placeholders such as %i, %e, %d, and %s inside SQL string literals.
• Suggests ready-made SQL snippets after INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT in format and MySQL query string arguments.
• Warns when mysql_format placeholder counts do not match the provided value arguments.
• Links MySQL query callbacks back to the mysql_tquery, mysql_pquery, or mysql_function_query call that references them.
• Adds Pawn Helper: Generate Enum from CREATE TABLE for creating Pawn enum constants from a selected SQL table schema.
• Adds Pawn Helper: Reindex Workspace for manually rebuilding the workspace index.
