To structure Defold script files correctly, you apply per-type lifecycle patterns for .script, .gui_script, .render_script, and .editor_script files. This ensures proper callback usage and property management across your game project.

The best way to refactor game logic into reusable Lua modules is to extract shared logic into .lua files and enforce proper module usage patterns. This allows per-type scripts to reference and execute the modular logic efficiently.

Yes, you can use templates for different Defold script types. Templates enforce correct conventions and structural patterns for editor_script, gui_script, render_script, and script files, streamlining the creation of new game elements.

To add a new go.property to a Defold script, you edit the script file structure and insert the property declaration using the correct lifecycle pattern. This updates the script configuration while maintaining proper property usage.

Yes, this approach works for organizing both .lua modules and .script files in a Defold project. It manages and edits script structures across all Defold file types, ensuring consistent module usage and project organization.

You should use a .gui_script versus a standard .script file based on per-type script structure constraints. Gui scripts handle GUI-specific lifecycle callbacks, while standard scripts manage general game object behavior and properties.
