Amxx with VSCode

HowToRuski · **Author**

Is it possible to edit the code with VSCode and compile with amxxstudio, while its open? Because when i tried compiling, it made the old changes back in VSCode, do i really need to open it again and again, so it keepa the changes which i made in vscode?

Don't use AMXXStudio, IIRC, it's an ancient application and may not work that smoothly like you might expect a modern editor like VS Code to work.

If you're wanting to compile directly in VS Code, you can easily do that. I use VS Code exclusively and compile using a single key press. Install and configure the AMXXPawn Language extension by Klippy.

Hi i have question [fysiks]
Did you use VS Code or VS Studio ? i am thinking to changing AMXX Studio to VS Code/Studio because every time when i compile it give loose indentation error after pressing (Ctrl+I) too.

He already mentioned what he uses. And loose indentitation is not an error.

Loose indentation isn't caused by the IDE. It's caused by the coder. Loose indentation due to having spaces and tabs is often due to copying and pasting from multiple sources. Loose indentation when you're using all tabs or all spaces is due to the coder not indenting correctly.

For copy/pasting code, in VS Code, I can easily fix the spaces/tabs issue by selecting the entire code and then pressing TAB and then Shift+TAB. Any loose indentation due to poor coding should be fixed manually. This will help you learn how to 1) recognize it quicker and 2) get into the habit of doing it correctly the first time.
