I have just begun trying to learn C# with Unity. I'm following guides and tutorials. In these guides I see auto completions that my visual studio code is not showing me.

For example, in one video I see the following auto-completion:

enter image description here

On my own installation, I see the following:

enter image description here

Note that the auto-completion is not hinting Destroy. Other methods/functions such as GetComponent are also not auto-completed.

I believe that the correct folder is opened in VSC.

Visual studio code is set as my default editor in unity as per this question. I have installed the .Net Core Extension Pack, which includes the C# extension pack for VSC. What am I missing?

  • I think you are missing some namespaces Commented Aug 8, 2020 at 10:00
  • I believe I'm using the same name spaces as in the example video. Would you know which name space I'm missing? Commented Aug 8, 2020 at 10:03
  • I would reinstall Unity and let it install VS automatically. It should work then. Commented Aug 8, 2020 at 10:10

Enabling code completion (For recent versions of Unity)
If you are installing VS Code for the first time, you might be missing targeting packs required for Unity's code-completion (IntelliSense) in VS Code.
Targeting pack download links:
• Windows: .NET Framework 4.6 Targeting Pack
Download Link: https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=48136

• macOS: Download .NET SDK
Download link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download

Steps:

  1. Stop VS Code or Unity running.
  2. Download and install the targeting pack for your targeted framework version / preferred version from one of the above links.
  3. Start Unity.
  4. Create and/or open an existing script in VS Code, through Unity, and you should now see code completions.
