whats the benefit over this?

This does not require you to comment the full line plus this works with my next plugin

[glossy sonnet]

How would I make it multi-lined?

I was thinking of variables

[quasi halo]

holy shit you're a madman thats insane lol its always so annoying to block comment

goated

Why did this happen

Actually I figured it out

If you attempt to edit a package script without permission to modify it will throw this error

[west mortar]

what is line 22

[toxic estuary]

Isn't this the code?

If I paste it then its this

RequestSetSelectionAsync

[west mortar]

it says invalid position

maybe should print the values passed in to make sure there set

[toxic estuary]

I am just using your uploaded version so

I mean issue is only because the script attempting to be modify doesn't have the ability to be

[west mortar]

I'm guessing getselected return nil then we try to pass nil into the function

but I'm not sure I'm confused

[toxic estuary]

I mean it's fine it doesn't cause any issues and works as intended, just throws this error

[west mortar]

I think there is a editable property I might be able to check

[toxic estuary]

I was trying to look for that but was looking in ScriptEditorService

And didn't see one that seemed to be correct

But I've never looked at ScriptEditorService before

[west mortar]

maybe check the script document class

[toxic estuary]

Doesn't seem like there is

[west mortar]

humm

if I remember I'll take a look at it
