Editor Mode

Editor Mode is your persistent, multi-line scripting space.
Unlike REPL Mode, which handles quick one-liners, Editor Mode lets you write full blocks of code, define classes, run entry points, and structure logic just like in a regular C# file, without recompiling or breaking flow.

This is where you build actual runtime logic.

Execution Flow

There are two main modes of execution:

1. Using an Entry Method

If “Start with Entry Template” is enabled in the preferences:

Scriptum expects an entry class, like:

public class Main
{
    public static void Run()
    {
        Debug.Log("Hello from Scriptum");
    }
}

You can customize the entry method name and class in preferences (e.g. Startup.Init)
If the method is missing, Scriptum throws an error

This pattern is ideal for structured or reusable logic.

2. Freeform Mode

If “Start with Entry Template” is disabled:

You can write code directly without wrapping it in a class
It behaves more like an extended REPL
You can still define classes, bind variables, and call methods — just more freely

Example:

var x = 5;
Debug.Log(x * 2);

No entry point required. Perfect for fast iterations.

Classes Hub

Editor Mode integrates directly with the Classes Hub:

Each class you write becomes a session object
You can include/exclude classes from execution
Compilation errors are flagged immediately
You can manage and organize all your runtime classes from one place

Use Cases

Write and run helper utilities or setup logic
Debug systems in isolation before coding them in production
Simulate gameplay or test interactions with live data
Quickly inject methods and logic during development
Run event sequences, animations, spawning, or visual logic

Tips

Use Live Variables to access scene objects without fetching them manually
Keep commonly used code as a Quick Spell
Use manifest() to inspect results in a structured way

At the top of the Editor Mode panel, you'll find a dedicated action toolbar.

This toolbar includes common code operations like:

Navigate to Main
Reset current class
Undo / Redo
Copy, Cut, Paste
Auto-indent toggle
Follow caret toggle
Save / Import / Export / Delete class
Add Quick or Live Spell from selection

On the far right, there's a zoom control to adjust font size on the fly.

This toolbar helps you stay fast, fluid, and focused without reaching for menus or memorizing shortcuts.
