where could we find a list of all ‘types’ in the unity coding language?
imma suppose to come back in 3 months → whats currently the best free visual (drag drop) scripting tool?
You mean C#? Do you mean primitive types or all of the possible object types as well?
Primitive types are listed here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/built-in-types-table
For other types, there is this list:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/
but here you only want to look at the .NET core.
And those that are specific to Unity:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/
There are many hundreds of thousands of types that you probably will never need to use, though, so I wouldn’t go and try to learn them all one-at-time. that’s probably not a good use of your time.
Unity uses C#. Make three buckets in your head for learning:
-
the syntax and keywords (for, while, if, else, all the operators, arrays, etc.)
-
the .NET API (things like Dictionary and System and whatnot.)
-
the Unity API (everything that makes Unity actually do something, mostly under the UnityEngine namespace)
The first two have nothing to do with Unity but you must know them too. You can learn the first two in Unity, or through any other C# learning source.
Once you break stuff into these three buckets, you’ll be better-equipped to learn as well as to understand code you see.

The 3 months mention was more along the lines of humor I believe. Your time would be better used as previously suggested.
