I was recently helped by an ignition support member and I noticed that while doing scripting he was pressing some key combination to see the allowable methods or properties of whatever it was that we were looking at. Maybe I’m a total newb asking about this but I can’t seem to find any info on this and I think it would help me out tremendously with all the scripting I am doing lately. Any help is much appreciated

You can press “CRTL + SPACEBAR” when typing out scripting functions and it will give you the next available options.

Was this what you were asking about?
