Official What's New on Unity Learn (May2021)

April/May 2021 Site-Wide Patch Notes​

New Projects

• 2 new projects to get you started with Visual Scripting
  
  
  • Introduction to Visual Scripting
    (https://learn.unity.com/project/introduction-to-visual-scripting)

• Start here to learn Visual Scripting, whether you are new to Unity or an experienced Unity programmer. If you are new to programming, you will learn the basics of programming along the way. Everything you need to know before starting this project is in the Unity Essentials Pathway.
  
  
• Visual Scripting application: Clive the Cat's 'Visual Crypting' (https://learn.unity.com/project/visual-scripting-application-clive-the-cat-s-visual-crypting)
  
  
• Clive wants his food dish — but first he must navigate through his maze-like crypt, figure out how to open doors, and find ways to pass around various obstacles — even a fox! Learn intermediate and advanced techniques in Visual Scripting including super units, events, and State Machines.

​

• Create with VR
  (https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-vr)

• You will create prototypes, attempt challenges, and complete quizzes to build and solidify your skill set. At the same time, you will be guided through creating your own unique VR project from start to finish, beginning with a blank design document and ending with a fully functional project.
  
  
• Whether you want to create an interactive walkthrough of an ancient ruin, a product configurator for a car manufacturer, a simulator for operating dangerous machinery, or any other experience, this course will help you bring those ideas to life in VR.

Just tried doing the Clive the Cat Visual Crypting tutorial after completing the Intro to Visual Scripting but got the following error after importing the assets and can't go any further because its says all compiler errors must be fixed.

Assets\VisualScriptingTutorial\CompleteGame\Scripts\Level.cs(8,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Antlr' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I am using Unity 2021.1.9f1

Any tips on how to get it working

 

Deleted line 8 of the Level.cs file
using Antlr.Runtime.Tree;

That got it working
