I use VS Code with the sunmeko Lua extension as laid out in Eikonium's Lua tutorial.

Thank you 
So you have the world editor with Lua as language, use VSCode with sunmeko lua extension, and thats about it?

I have the tesh addon for World Editor. That gives me at least some function previews for the World Editor when I'm debugging and want to quickly try out different things. Other than that, I never code in World Editor and just copy all changes over before starting. I tried using Better Triggers, but it doesn't work.

Thank you Antares for the answers <3 I was planning on learning lua as I'm starting a new map (rpg style), but more like a hobby/fun project only mostly. I had plans to implement ALICE, Wrda lua save/load, and some other systems you, Wrda and Eikonium have shared to Hive, they looked really useful.

Sounds great, good luck!
Oh, one more tip (the AI haters gonna stone me for this): Have ChatGPT open when you're learning Lua; it makes you get the answer to a problem like "How do I format a string in Lua" etc. 10x faster.

Haha don't worry, I have ChatGPT Pro, it's very useful when it comes to learning, even though some people hate it, just have to be careful since sometimes it can say an answer confidently when its wrong. But aside of that, ChatGPT is an amazing tool to have.
Also one more thing, the "custom map" you made, it says it was made for maps with cam-lock, what if its used in a map that doesn't use camera-lock for the player?
