User Settings

You can configure this extension by using the button shown in the image below.

Since AngelScript is a highly customizable language, you may need to adjust the settings according to your specific environment.

• Defining Built-in String Types

  • This can be configured using Angel Script: Builtin String Types. This setting allows you to assign string literals in the form of string s = "text". The default values are: string, String.

  • If you do not use this setting, you can also make a class recognizable as a built-in string by adding the BuiltinString metadata to it.

  [BuiltinString]
  class CustomString
  {
      // ...
  }

• Defining Built-in Array Type

  • This can be configured using Angel Script: Builtin Array Type.
  • This will handle Type[] as array<Type>.
  • Unlike Built-in String Types, the current version does not yet allow the Built-in Array Type to be set in the metadata

• Implicit Mutual Inclusion

  • This can be configured using Angel Script: Implicit Mutual Inclusion.
  • This setting is intended for users who compile all their AngelScript files into a single unit within their application. Think of it like compiling in C# or Java.
  • When enabled, this option implicitly imports other files without needing to use #include.
