Good naming conventions and documentation should obviate the need to do this in the first place.

Perhaps worth mentioning that we already have an inspector widget that does a lot of this. We can open an inspector window for 'anything' and see fields, current field data, nested hierarchy (e.g. pointers/refs to other Lua tables), etc. Main usage right now is, in fact, debugging UI -- Adam at one point had it such that you middle-mouse-clicked on any on-screen widget to bring up an inspector window for it. Of course, the best part is recursively opening inspectors on inspectors of inspectors

No code/source line info but that is surprisingly-easy to add with Lua's debug library. The debug library is (as you might expect for a dynamic language), insanely-powerful.

So...already implemented for the most part Will need to dust it off once mod system is done so that we can dump a list of mod files that have injected fields and/or logic into entities / ui elements.

EDIT: Whoops..didn't realize this was a necro. Dang, we need more scripting/modding talk going on..

Necros are still good in here

Yep, absolutely fine! In fact, we encourage them in the FAQ.

Especially if Josh has something to add. Well worth the necromancy
