Tools for writing scripts

What tools do people use for writing scripts?

Does anyone have a tool (such as intellisense) for checking script syntax and variables?

Is there a way in Textpad to check that brackets match up?

Specifically I'm interested in tools that can spot these sort of problems:
- undeclared variables
- unused variables
- variables declared twice (e.g. declared both in local and global)
- bad methods
- bad members
- unused functions
- wrong number of parameters passed to functions
- bad bracket sequence
- bad quotation sequence
- unescaped sequences

If there is nothing out there I may have a go at writing something to do this.

You can literally... use intellisense.. by coding in .NET instead of in LavishScript.

And for Lavishscript?

Use TextPad and the TextPad addon found on ismods.com in the Scripts::Utilities forum.

Thanks Joe, I use that already and it is a big help in indentifying typos with LS commands. Sadly it doesn't help with variables, brackets or anything else I listed

Would anyone else be interested in a LS syntax checker if I start writing one?
