    Hello!

    I started to create a game using Unity and Visual Studio Code. I have downloaded some extensions so that Intellisense may suggest methods and parts relevant for Unity. However, I noticed a thing. Lets say that I would want to change the position of my character. In VSC I believe that I got the methods "GetComponent" and "Transform" in my tool box, but they will not show up as Intellisense proposals. Neither when I use "GetComponent()" will it show what components I have access to. Why do I have this error? This badly brakes my game development and I would appreciate any answer that would help me!

    Thanks in advance! Johan

    I can not help you with your Visual Studio Code issue, but i highly recommend you try JetBrains Rider IDE. It's intellisense is the best you will get for any C# development and you can try it 30 days for free.
    After that you will gladly trrow money at them to keep using it.

    One thing that worked for me with VSCode is to go to Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools and to click "regenerate project files". It has worked the couple of times I've lost intellisense in my unity project.
