Just use tabs instead of spaces. Anyone that looks at your script will see it indented according to THEIR tab preferences. That's the beauty of tab indentations.

Then, if you want YOUR tabs to be 4 spaces long, you might be able to set it to be that way in your editor. Depends on what you use to edit the script.

Crimson editor, not too sure where to get it.. just punch it into a search engine, it's really nice.

AMXX has its own editor if you want it. Its on the main downloads page.
