I think it would be really helpful to new, and also experienced players in studio mode for when they are using scripts to create beautiful games, to also try and fix errors in their scripts. However, not all people can do this due to: - They don't know what it says/means - They don't know HOW to. Which is why I thought of this auto script fixer that you can use with the script analysis. For example, the warnings where it says "consider changing this to local" or something else, there could be a "fix" button next to it and it will automatically fix it for you. This would help everyone and save them a bit of time trying to read through a script, especially if it is really long and barely legible.

i'm not really sure how this helps at all. how can you not know what it means? look where it's referring to, then look at what's wrong. if your script is "barely legible" then that's your fault. the consider changing to local isn't even a proper error, it's just a suggestion, and frequently it isn't necessary, just look at it yourself i guess. seems like this would just benefit people who don't understand what they're doing, and the solution there is to encourage people to learn more, rather than dumbing it down.

When they learn more scripting, they won't really need it, and it's really mainly for error messages, however you can use it for warnings if they really are just "suggestions". It is for new people to help them get started and them into the habits of scripting.

i don't generally like the idea of spending time making something temporarily easier for new scripters. i feel if it's done at all, it should be an improvement of tutorials rather than messing with the actual program, or if it is the program, then improving the current outputting instead of making a kiddie one.
