## Setting Up for ReiLua
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Install Lua Language Server
|
||||
|
||||
The Lua Language Server provides autocomplete, error detection, and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1: Automatic (Recommended)**
|
||||
1. Open Zed
|
||||
2. Open any `.lua` file
|
||||
3. Zed will prompt to install Lua support
|
||||
4. Click "Install"
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2: Manual**
|
||||
1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+P` (Mac)
|
||||
2. Type "zed: install language server"
|
||||
3. Select "Lua"
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Create Workspace Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `.zed` folder in your project root:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd your_game_project
|
||||
mkdir .zed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Configure Lua Language Server
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.zed/settings.json` with ReiLua-specific settings:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"lsp": {
|
||||
"lua-language-server": {
|
||||
"settings": {
|
||||
"Lua": {
|
||||
"runtime": {
|
||||
"version": "Lua 5.4",
|
||||
"path": [
|
||||
"?.lua",
|
||||
"?/init.lua"
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"diagnostics": {
|
||||
"globals": [
|
||||
"RL"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"disable": [
|
||||
"lowercase-global"
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"workspace": {
|
||||
"library": [
|
||||
"ReiLua_API.lua"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"checkThirdParty": false
|
||||
},
|
||||
"completion": {
|
||||
"callSnippet": "Both",
|
||||
"keywordSnippet": "Both"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"hint": {
|
||||
"enable": true,
|
||||
"setType": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"languages": {
|
||||
"Lua": {
|
||||
"format_on_save": "on",
|
||||
"formatter": "language_server",
|
||||
"tab_size": 4,
|
||||
"hard_tabs": false
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"tab_size": 4,
|
||||
"soft_wrap": "editor_width",
|
||||
"theme": "One Dark",
|
||||
"buffer_font_size": 14,
|
||||
"ui_font_size": 14
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What this does:**
|
||||
- Sets Lua 5.4 runtime (matches ReiLua)
|
||||
- Adds `RL` as a global (prevents "undefined global" warnings)
|
||||
- Loads ReiLua_API.lua for autocomplete
|
||||
- Enables format-on-save
|
||||
- Sets tab size to 4 spaces
|
||||
- Enables type hints
|
||||
- Disables third-party library checking (reduces noise)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Add ReiLua API Definitions
|
||||
|
||||
Copy `ReiLua_API.lua` to your project:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Windows
|
||||
copy path\to\ReiLua\ReiLua_API.lua your_game_project\
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux/Mac
|
||||
cp path/to/ReiLua/ReiLua_API.lua your_game_project/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file provides:
|
||||
- Autocomplete for all 1000+ ReiLua functions
|
||||
- Function signatures
|
||||
- Parameter hints
|
||||
- Documentation tooltips
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Create Tasks Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.zed/tasks.json` for quick commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tasks": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"label": "Run Game (Dev)",
|
||||
"command": "path/to/ReiLua.exe",
|
||||
"args": ["--log", "--no-logo"],
|
||||
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"label": "Run Game (Production)",
|
||||
"command": "path/to/ReiLua.exe",
|
||||
"args": [],
|
||||
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"label": "Run Game with Logging",
|
||||
"command": "path/to/ReiLua.exe",
|
||||
"args": ["--log"],
|
||||
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"label": "Build Release",
|
||||
"command": "path/to/ReiLua/build_release.bat",
|
||||
"cwd": "path/to/ReiLua"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` / `Cmd+Shift+P`
|
||||
2. Type "task: spawn"
|
||||
3. Select your task
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `path/to/ReiLua.exe` with the actual path to your ReiLua executable.

2. Press `Ctrl+D` repeatedly to select more occurrences
|
||||
3. Type to edit all at once
|
||||
|
||||
### Split Editor
|
||||
|
||||
Work on multiple files simultaneously:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press `Ctrl+\` to split
|
||||
2. Open different files in each pane
|
||||
3. Example: `main.lua` on left, `player.lua` on right

|
||||
### ReiLua Functions Show as Undefined
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: `RL.DrawText` shows as error
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Add `"RL"` to globals in `.zed/settings.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"diagnostics": {
|
||||
"globals": ["RL"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Restart LSP
|
||||
|
||||
### Format on Save Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Code doesn't format when saving
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Check formatter setting:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"languages": {
|
||||
"Lua": {
|
||||
"format_on_save": "on"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Ensure LSP is running
|
||||
3. Try manual format: `Ctrl+Shift+F`
|
||||
|
||||
### Tasks Not Showing
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Can't find run tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**

### Directory Structure
|
||||
```
|
||||
MyGame/
|
||||
├── .zed/
|
||||
│ ├── settings.json
|
||||
│ └── tasks.json
|
||||
├── src/
|
||||
│ ├── main.lua
|
||||
│ ├── player.lua
|
||||
│ └── enemy.lua
|
||||
├── assets/
|
||||
│ ├── player.png
|
||||
│ └── music.wav
|
||||
├── ReiLua_API.lua
|
||||
└── README.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### .zed/settings.json
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"lsp": {
|
||||
"lua-language-server": {
|
||||
"settings": {
|
||||
"Lua": {
|
||||
"runtime": {"version": "Lua 5.4"},
|
||||
"diagnostics": {"globals": ["RL"]},
|
||||
"workspace": {"library": ["ReiLua_API.lua"]}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"languages": {
|
||||
"Lua": {
|
||||
"format_on_save": "on",
|
||||
"tab_size": 4
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"theme": "One Dark",
|
||||
"buffer_font_size": 14
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### .zed/tasks.json
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tasks": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"label": "Run Game",
|
||||
"command": "C:/ReiLua/build/ReiLua.exe",
|
||||
"args": ["--log", "--no-logo"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can:
|
||||
- Open project in Zed
|
||||
- Get autocomplete for all RL functions
|
||||
- Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Run Game" to test
|
||||
- Edit code with full LSP support
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips for Efficient Development
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Learn 5 shortcuts**: `Ctrl+P`, `Ctrl+Shift+F`, `Ctrl+D`, `F12`, `` Ctrl+` ``
|
||||
2. **Use multi-cursor**: Speed up repetitive edits
