Scripting Machine

Introduction

Scripting Machine is a smart IDE developed specialy for SA-MP scripters, that try to simplify the scripter's task, so he can het focused on what he's scripting.

Why it's smart?

The IDE can detect variables/arrays (native types: 'Float:', 'Text:', 'File:', etc) and show them on each function (native or not) that has a param with the defined type; same with colors, and on the dialog maker you can use defined colors (only embedded ones); syntax highligt for native and custom functions.

Note: The aplication is not under development for not (but will be in the near feature), this is due the lack of time of the main (only) developer.
