I’ve been working on several features of Blizzard’s shared engine editor for this internship. I have improved the variable panel for the visual script language for the engine. Before, the variable panel was designed to only show the variables information inferred by the script compiler. Now, I have changed the visual script language to a strongly typed language that users can create a variable through the variable panel and define variables’ names, types, and values. I then gather this information, pass them into the compiler and print the result back to the editor. I have also used ImGui to implement the UI for the variable panel and diagnostic results so users can easily see the feedback after creating variables. I have also worked on the features like multi-selection and deletion, sorting functionality for variables according to names, types, and values, auto-completion integration for variable’s value, highlighting referenced nodes when selecting variables, and so on. I have also talked to other designers and engineers to gather advice on working on the hotkey systems to create gameplay nodes.
