I am following some good tutorial videos from 3D Buzz, and they are using Visual Studio 2008. 3D Buzz
I want to follow on, so I have downloaded Visual Studio 2010 C# Express, but unlike what they do in their videos, I can't get Unity to use Visual Studio Express as the default script editor.
I am hitting Edit --> Preferences ... --> External Script Editor.
But how am I supposed to select Visual Studio Express? Do I need to navigate to the file itself on my hard drive, and if so, can you please help me find it? I have searched through my folders, but there are simply too many in the Microsoft Visual Studio Express that I don't know which one to choose. Keep in mind that I am also new to Visual Studio Express as well.
So far so good right, everyone's doing just this... Well... its already working! you just don't know it!
2 . right-click your script file -> "Sync MonoDevelopment Project" - YES, it SAYS "MonoDevelopment", but what it really means is "Visual Studio Express"; so go for it and click it
double-clicking script files will still open mono, so here you give up... forget double clicking the files...
3 . open your project folder in windows explorer and your VISUAL STUDIO project (".csproj") and solution (".sln") files are sitting there; open the project file and visual studio will do the rest; with INTELLISENSE and everything!
Now we just don't have the ease of clicking stuff in Unity to open in VS, we have to go into VS and manipulate files ourselves; but its no biggie really... :-)
You aren't allowed to open VS Express from within Unity (even though you can browse and select it in preferences) you'd need VS Pro or some other version of VS. The reason why intellisense might not work is because you haven't sync'd Unity to your VS project.
Ok, I think I found it via "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\vcsexpress.exe"
Now I have another problem, however, that when I open up a script in Visual Studio Express, the autocomplete intellisense doesn't work.
I don't know whether this is a Unity or Visual Studio related question, but in the video when he types "transform.", a box appears and shows him a bunch of options like "transform.position.x".
Does anybody know how to enable this feature? I have tried to press CTRL+ALT+SPACE (I Googled it), but it doesn't work.
