Search for "Squirrel" in the search bar. Install the following extensions:

Restart VSCode. Now the language is ready for use in the editor!

Autocomplete

For Team Fortress 2 Team Fortress 2, auto-completion of the game's built-in script functions and constants is also available.

To install, press Ctrl + Shift + P in VSCode.

Search for "Configure User Snippets" and click on the command, then search for "squirrel" and click on it. You should have a "squirrel.json" window open at this point.

Replace the contents of this window with the text here.

Tip.pngTip:Press the Raw button on the Github page and then press Ctrl + A to select all of the text and Ctrl + C to copy everything. You can now paste this directly into the VSCode document.

Save the file, and now VSCode will provide autocomplete for your scripts!
