Automatically find startup scripts and run them and all their dependencies
Automatically find and run all script dependencies added by Script.ReloadScript in the workspace
Optionally run code automatically when saving your Lua file
View execution results and errors in VS Code's output panel

Requirements
This extension requires the companion KCD2 Lua ASI mod to be installed in your game:
Place vscodelua.asi in the same directory as above
Note that the asi and extension's major version must match to be compatible. 1.X.X will work with 1.X.X but not 2.X.X+
If the extension stops working check your versions are compatible, there may be an update available for the asi
Getting Started
Use Ctrl+Shift+P and search for "KCD2: Run Lua Code" to run the currently open file
You can also use Ctrl+Shift+R or enable the Run On Save setting to run code when you save the file
Use Ctrl+Shift+P and search for "KCD2: Run Workspace Scripts" to find and run all startup scripts
You can also use Ctrl+Alt+R to find and run all startup scripts
Startup scripts are any Lua files found in directories named Mods or Startup, as you would have in your mod's .pak file. These can be nested in any number of other directories. For example MyProject/Scripts/Startup/MyMod.lua, Mods/MyMod.lua, Example/Project/Mods/MyMod.lua
Any scripts added by Script.ReloadScript that can be found in the workspace will also be run, recursively
The code will execute in-game and any output will appear in VS Code's output panel
Keep mind if you re-run a script you already ran you may overwrite globals you previously defined, if they contain data collected at runtime it will be lost. To avoid this it's good practice to define your globals like this: MyModTable = MyModTable or {}
