[Feature Request] Mission/Event Triggers and Scripts

[mrmaller1905]

Can you add support for mission and event triggers and scripts into your editor?

Thanks in advance.

For scripts, you can just open the scene's zip file (in File explorer, 7zip, WinRAR, etc.) and look for the .sdl files inside.
You can extract the sdl files, edit them in Notepad or any text editor, and import it back to the zip.

So there's not much need to implement script editing inside c47edit, though it could be more convenient.

Also in the scripts it is possible to add new properties to objects, so you can tweak script variables per object from the editor.
c47edit already implements a feature to synchronise the list of properties from the script to the object (the "Update script" button).

Though I admit that right now there is no documentation. This has to be done at some point because I myself don't even know well the scripting language used in Hitman C47 as I haven't experimented with scripting very much. Me or somebody else would have to look at existing scripts and document things like the syntax, built-in objects/classes, etc.

At the same time it won't hurt to try changing script files and see what happens, like change some number or comment/uncomment lines of script. By experience you can see people manage to make interesting mods despite the lack of documentation.
