LUA Debugging in Unity

Objective

In my previous article, I talked about the LUA editor Idea+emmlylua (plug-ins), and of course Emmlylua also provides debugging capabilities.

Lua code hints and method jumps

Methods for prompting UnityEngine.dll in Lua

PS: The same configuration 16G DDR4+128g SSD, the performance of the WIN10 and WIN7 vary greatly, WIN10 debugging is smooth, WIN7 debugging special card and easy to let unity hang up, So for hardware high configuration recommend everyone use WIN10 system.

Debugging steps

1. After installing emmly, in the root directory of the project LUA code, create a new project with idea

2. In Project view, select Directory, right - Mark directory as- Resources Root , set to complete as shown in: (Very important step)
