Hi,
I have some issue with the Shortcut Creator in EZ-Builder:
when i select a script in the Auto Start Script step (step 3), it never starts when the project is open via the shortcut. I have tried with an autoconnect script, but also with a simple script saying "hello" (like in the tutorial), but no success.
It seems that when I use the Shortcut Creator and the AutoStart Script, the Script is not added at the end of the shortcut. An example: for "C:\Program Files (x86)\ ARC\ARC.exe" "C:\My Documents\MyFile.ezb" "InitScript", "InitScript" is missing. When I add it manually after shortcut creation, everything is fine.
By the way, I have notice that the script needed to be in is own window in order to be executed at startup. It don't work when the script is inside a Script Manager windows (it is the same when trying to load a script at connection in the "Connection Established Cmd").
Is there a way to use the scripts inside the Script Manager at startup or at connection?
However this solution don't seem to work inside shortcuts, for script start at startup... is there a way?
That's right, only EZ-Script controls are displayed in the drop-down... It explains why scripts in EZ-Script Manager dont load at startup
However, I have tested again with an EZ-Script control. When i select it in the drop-down from the shortcut creator, it is not taken account. It is not loaded at start and it don't appear in the "target" property of the shortcut in Windows... I have to add it manually.
Maybe it is because I am using Windows 8? I don't know...
But it is no big deal, it works this way and it don't prevent my Wall-E from growing...
Thanks again.
@DJ. I must admit I still don't understand how you manage to understand and solve so quickly every single tiny problem meet by users.
This community is really lucky!
Thanks.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here as I'd like to implement some of the scenarios as described in this snip

And ... since I've gone this far, I wonder if it would be possible to change the editor feature in which matching sets of parentheses are highlighted? Currently they are highlighted by changing the background color of the parenthesis character. This can be difficult to distinguish when highlighting the characters between the set of parentheses for a copy and paste operation. It always looks like the parentheses are being included in the copy. So, I was wondering if the highlighting could be modified to show a change of color instead, with the background remaining the same? I have been working with Maxscript lately and that is how they do it. I find it easier to use. In addition they use red to indicate that a given parenthesis is not yet matched by it's opposite, which is also handy.
Just a couple of suggestions. Certainly nothing dire or critical to usage. For all I know I may be the only user this anal about these points.
