Can we get intellisense in CE autoassemble? If you don't know what i mean, in visual studio when you hover over variables, it will show the definition and its values. There's also auto-complete where you start typing something and VS starts suggesting possible functions etc.

I don't know how difficult it would be but it would be pretty awesome especially when you write huge scripts and a game updates and you have to go back to the script you wrote months ago wondering what the hell you wrote lol. That is just one of the scenario, it can come in handy in a lot of different ways.

when debugging you can hover over variables and read the value , but without is impossible

lua doesn't use type definitions or declarations, so a parser will have to inspect how a value got assigned, and in function parameters it's even impossible

for this to work you have to add extra code to your script to define the type, and then never use that form for anything else.

e.g, then never do:
Code:

i="23"
i=number(i)
i=functionThatRetunsAForm(i)
