RE: Amnesia Script Wizard

For users who want to do simple stuff/learn, this could be pretty useful. If you are mainly aiming for this as a learning tool, I think there's probably more that could be done in teaching the fundamentals of scripting for amnesia, fx a newbie might think onstart is only for events that happen in the start of the map, and not understand it is simply the collision for an event later on that he is adding. Of course there's also a fine line of making the tool too easy, so people end up relying on it and misunderstanding things when they move on to scripting things manually.

For more advanced users there's definitely some goodies in this. For example the pulling entities from the map in particular could safe me a lot of going between level and script all the time. But there's a lot of things a tool like this cant do well, like managing script layout and commenting for readability, or hps syntax coloring. Even though some of the things your tool add's would be nice to have, it would be very bothersome to keep switching between scripting software(notepad++,genie,codeblocks...) and the tool all the time, and having to clean up the messy scripts provided by the tool.
So I would only make the switch personally given it essentially became a tool that could replace those software, though only specifically in the area of amnesia modding.

Well add to that, that I am only doing HPL3 stuff right now, I would probably only make the switch if you added support for that and it's scripting features like autocomplete. If I had to do something HPL2 again, it would only be for the sake of helping you test I think, which I would definitely consider.
