Ghost Authoring Component: Getting ArgumentException when generating code

Unity Engine

I am following the “Getting Started” guide on Getting started with NetCode | Unity NetCode | 0.0.4-preview.0

So far, everything worked but the part where I am supposed to generated the code for the cube/unit, I am getting the following error:

ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. Key: UnityEditor.Experimental.TerrainAPI.PaintHeightTool

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

Since there was a hint to TerrainAPI, I tried to just uninstall the “Terrain Tools” from the package manager. However, that didn’t help.

Is there a way I can find out where this error comes from?

Okay, after restarting Unity it worked. No idea where this came from but well. It works now.

I had the same issue and solved it the same as you - but it’s not the best solution, as I quite like to use the terrain tools :wink:
