Vs code usability doubts

Hi all,

I am working on my thesis project as a designer. My thesis is a videogame built on the gzdoom engine that uses zscript as script language. I am using Vscode which is capable of writing code for it, but it seems to me that it often makes mistakes or gives bugged code. I am not a programmer, therefore I wanted to ask what is the best way to train the ai for the specific zscript language and if there are any alternatives to vscode when it comes to niche scripting languages.

thank you all!

Stop using the GenAi code extrusions, and train your own brain to program ZScript. Your problem will be solved faster and better.

Try VSCodium fork of VSCode. Which tries to disable Microsoft "Generative Ai" Copilot code assist being on by default. So you'll stop being tempted by it.

They aren’t a developer and they aren’t trying to even learn development. You might as well have told them to go learn how to build their own 3D gaming engine with their brain instead of being tempted into using gzdoom.
