 |

Can cheat engine allow for the use of external editors to edit the lua script?
The built-in editor is nice but it can be more convenient this way.

try SciTE or notepad++
note though that they won't be able to step through CE scripts like CE 6.4 can

| The script I'm trying to edit is within the ct file, am I able to do this without opening up the .ct xml file or copy/pasting between the editor and the lua script window?

Click 'show cheat table lua script' and you'll get a window containing the script,in 6.3 and older versions,you have to enable 'show all windows in taskbar' and enlarge the window,it has been fixed in 6.4
Regarding text editors,you could use SciTE or notepad++,but they don't have syntax highlightning for CE specific functions,you also won't be able to test your CE Lua code with them,it would be nice if CE had syntax highlightning for all its native functions,variables,and tables (like _G,_VERSION,string,type,createTimer etc.),that would reduce mispelling.
notepad++ even highlights the metamethod field names (__index,__add etc.)

I recommend you copy/paste the scripts between the editor and the lua script window, as xml contains some special characters that need to be encased in special character notations (e.g > instead of > )
