Allow the script cleaner to change all longform into shortform automatically
ability = use endif = ei
and so on to eliminate all long form ways of writing and still keep all "old" scripts compatible with the single simplified uniform way of writing scripts
This might be able to built into the beautifier
I think it would've been better if the original author never added both commands because I don't think it would be a good idea to remove ability
now with all the existing scripts using it. But replacing it with use
with the beautifier looks like a good idea to train people :-p
And personally I don't like the suggested ei
beautifying (didn't even know this is a thing, but looking into snippets.lua I also see self/enemy/ally
and never knew of ally
;-) ). if/endif
feels better for understandability/readability of scripts :-)
This wouldnt convert into short form - but rather the preferred form. ability
, endif
, self
are all the preferred form. We can deprecate the other functions by posting a warning message in the chat and eventually removing them from the language.
