Solved Tabs/spaces

[Donut]

Sometimes when I reload a script ill get an error saying "expected 4 spaces, but found 1 tab", so i make notepad++ replace tabs with spaces, then re-indent and everything works...

However, later on it will randomly say the opposite, "expected 1 tab but found 4 spaces", so I make notepad++ not replace tabs with spaces, re-indent and everything works... then later on it will yet again say "expected 4 spaces, but found 1 tab"...and so on. This cycle repeats and repeats.

This isn't related to a specific script but just scripts in general. There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to when it decides that it wants spaces and when it wants tabs. Is this a skript issue or a notepad++ issue? In either case, does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Well, if it happens with the same script, that has been already correctly indented, then that may be an issue of your version of Skript rather than notepad++ itself, you could try other text editor like Sublime (which is 10 times better than notepad++) and see if you have the same issue.

Alright thanks, I'll try that editor.
[doublepost=1499478707,1499477886][/doublepost]Everything is working with sublime but as I said before, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when I get the indentation error. I'll mark this as solved for now unless the error shows up again.

Thanks again for the sublime recommendation. I obviously haven't used it much yet, but what I have used so far is great.

I also get this error and this is what I've found out:

It happens when certain spaces are spaced and some are tabbed, meaning even if it has 5 spaces whether you use spaces or tabs, it needs to be consistent. If some things are spaced, then it needs to all be spaced, if some are tabbed, they all need to be tabbed.

Hmmm I thought I was always using all tabs/all spaces... probably notepad screwing something up.

Thanks for the info
