Script Search
Script Search lets you find specific events across every script in your project — scene scripts, actor scripts, trigger scripts, and custom events.
Opening Script Search
Open it from Edit > Search or press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F.
Search Types
Use the dropdown to choose what to search for:
| Type | What it finds |
|---|---|
| Command | Script events by command name (fuzzy matching) |
| Variable | Events that reference a specific variable |
| Actor | Events that reference a specific actor |
| Custom Event | Events that call a specific custom script |
| Constant | Events that reference a specific constant |
| Text | Events containing specific text in dialogue, menus, etc. |
Search Results
Results are grouped by scene, actor, trigger, or custom event. Each result shows:
- The entity name and type icon.
- A script key tag (e.g.,
[On Start],[On Update],[Hit 1]) indicating which script tab the match is in.
Navigating to Results
Click any result to navigate directly to the matching event:
- The editor selects the entity (scene, actor, trigger, or custom event).
- The correct script tab is activated automatically.
- Any collapsed parent events are expanded.
- The view scrolls to the matching event and highlights it.
tip
The search runs on a background thread so it won't freeze the editor, even in large projects.
Panel Controls
The Script Search panel is draggable and resizable — position it wherever is convenient for your workflow.
