🌜 Scripting system (using Saltcode)

[youarereadingthis]

What would you like to add?

@rndtrash was working on a visual scripting solution for the Vidya Editor that is mostly done. Just needed some UI implementation and helper methods for users.

If the per-game workshop stuff Garry mentioned is ever a reality then we can use that, otherwise we could let people write, save, import via clipboard/url the old fashioned way.

Framework

This needs to be done very carefully to prevent exploits/cheating using this library.

• Create objects and manage transforms/parents.
• Read but NOT create/modify any components/properties by default.
• Manageable whitelist for components creation and property modification.
• Attribute added to properties that lets you modify them.
• Attribute added to components that lets you create them.
• Component added to prefabs that configures if/how they are spawnable.

Any extra information?
