EZscript plugin. a GUI that has little bubbles for functions, statements, etc
basically a drag-and-drop script creator.
example

(if)
|
|__(value)
|       |
|       =
|       |
|    (false)
|
(then)
|
(end)



what do you think.

Yeah, his does sound awesome. Wouldn't it be like a flowchart. Although, good luck getting it to actually read off scripts in workspace, that'd be impossible xD. Even getting it to read off a script, and get it to make the flowchart based on the function the script contains would be hard.

Although, alex's would be awesome if you could actually have the ability to create a flowchart that easily. Like maybe there can be a gui saying "Add new leaf", and when you click, a menu comes up with things like "if statement", "else" things like that, and then adds a leaf. That'd be very awesome.

@nate980
I think just for creation of scripts -- not for reading them.

Yeah. Kind of like this
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Flowcharts
But just more simple, and typing instead of writing, and have it automatically made.

Alex, you should do that xD. I'd love to see it.

working on a drag-and-drop system in studio now. i may make it pubpic so the more professional scripters can edit it to their liking :P i believe i can get most of it to work via loadstring, but it will definitely take time XD who knows? maybe roblox may make one just for those beginners.

Drag and drop? Explain? Like dragging something, and when it moves to a certain position, it is then deselected, and locked?

@nate - Like creating a script by dragging and dropping different GuiObjects. Have you ever used Game Maker?

I'd love to see that when it's done. How much longer do you think it'll take to complete?

the reason why i ask about the string count is because of custom variables, and so i dont have to make the size for everything by hand. such as:

Size=UDim2.new(0,string.len(script.Parent.Text)*12,0,50)

this enables me to make a table of statements/functions/etc, and resize bubbles for custom variables. we should compare our scripts while indev XD

one of the only things i see complicated is making an error detect, making the whole window red and pointing out the line-in-question. feasible, but hard as heck D:
