I’ve recently started using Unity (doing the Hack and Slash tutorial as my first project) and when I try to open a script, it keeps opening in Notepad. MonoDevelop is the default script editor, I synced the project, and it’s just not working… I’ve tried using the browse button to see if it hadn’t installed correctly, and I browsed my way to mono.exe within the Unity sub-folders (editor\data\mono\bin) and tried to use that but it didn’t work either… Hopefully I didn’t break something in doing that lol. I opened my script with Notepad++ but it’s obviously not the same as what he’s using in the tutorial, and I’d like to try not to get more lost than I have to. Any help would be appreciated!
This might have happened if you’ve moved the location of either your Unity or MonoDevelop applications on your hard drive. To fix it go to Preferences and navigate to the External Script Editor. As a default this is set to MonoDevelop (built-in), however, in your case you need to reestablish the link between Unity and MonoDevelop. Click the External Script Editor drop-down menu and select Browse… Now navigate to the location of MonoDevelop on your hard drive and double-click it. That should do it.
This might be due to your system settings (not Unity settings). Depending on what OS you use the process is different but you should try setting the OS’s default program to open that filetype as MonoDevelop.
