Common Issues

Where are the file icons?!

Click the Gear icon in the bottom left of VSCode, click "File Icon Theme" and then select GLua.

Auto completion documentation isn't showing up!

Press CTRL + Space

I'm not seeing globals or local variables

You may have the editor.quickSuggestions setting set to false.

Recommended Companion Extensions

glualint

A GLua linter, powered by FPtje's glualint.

gluadump

This extension uses the gluadump addon to extract some information (e.g. debug.getinfo data for the "View Source" buttons) from Garry's Mod and may need to periodically be updated as new features and libraries are added to Garry's Mod.
