How to create Editor level scripts in LUA separate from runtime?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes with level setup I like to automate certain tasks, like setting up the "North,South,East,West" relationships of grid objects on a gameboard.  Does stingray have editor level scripting capabilities for things like this, so they don't have to run before gameplay, eating up resources?

Could you be a bit more specific? Are you looking for controlling things in the editor itself? Or just doing preload things when your game launches?

I'm looking to do things in the editor, like setting unit script variables by automation using raycasts for proximity detection through a LUA script.

You could start by investigating some of the editor lua scripts located in core\editor_slave. I'm not sure anyone has done what you are asking before so I will look for some more resources for you as well.
