I recommended Atom before, check the Gist of plugins I use

You can do this with snippets of the language-lua plugin, go to it's settings and check that they are enabled

[tab]if not person.obey then person:setObey(true) end

Thanks! This really helps a lot. It took a little while to set it up properly, but now it works how I want it.

Me and my stuff :3True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

Reposting here since I deleted that:

Go to linter-luacheck settings and in the "Globals" setting put "love" without the quotes of course. I only have that over there, since "bit", "jit", "socket", "enet" all need to be required anyway

You can also change this using a .luacheckrc on a per-project basis, for more info on that check the luacheck documentation

> Can anyone suggest an IDE with working debugging? Tried IDEA but it's not working very good with LOVE as an interpreter and Visual Studio with a plugin, but there is no autocompletion for LOVE API that I could find.

ZeroBrane Studio Lua IDE should handle debugging and auto-complete; see http://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane ... -debugging. Others have already suggested Atom and Sublime with various plugin bundles earlier in this thread.

Zerobrane Studio does have working debugging indeed. The way it's set up prevents the use of lovedebug library, though. And if your gamee is large, you have to manually flip its on/off state to avoid freezes/slowdowns.

You might try Game Kitchen (https://bitbucket.org/kevinclancy/game- ... /wiki/Home) if you are willing to use a windows-only IDE that requires you to use a comment-embedded type system. I made Game Kitchen.

My work environment especially for LOVE2D is the script editor I met on the LOVE2D website once, it was them who recommended me... well, what I appreciate in editors for development: autocomplete, syntax checker, builds and speed (lightness). This entire package exists in SublimeText 3 > SublimeLinter, Lua Linter, Lua autocomplete, LOVE2D autocomplete, Monokai (standard color scheme) and as free a spell checker. Eternal love.
