Working with one of the many packages on here, seen a youtube video suggesting I should use VS, so how do you use VS to edit errors and stuff in the scripts?

Once you have it set up, you can clone the servuo repo

VS can help by visually displaying errors in your code while you write it, granted it's not immediately going to tell you your script wont work but it definitely does help. I've been using it for years and still probably don't know everything it can do but it's a great program and it's free for personal use.

Running in debug and using breakpoints to follow the code = priceless!

How?

Top of VS you'll see the ServUO with Green Arrow, and to the left of that it say Debug, not release!

You'll be pressing the green arrow to start up server in debug and hooked into VS!

Now you utilize this, you can add breakpoints to your script which will stop the thread for you to step through it!
This video covers them better then I could type here!
