Monodevelop Syntax Highlighting...

Unity Engine
1

Hi there,
Now that unity 4 is out (yeay), it looks like we have to start using monodevelop (boo).
So I’ve been trying to get into it but I noticed a few things that seem like a step back.

It seems to be a bit worse at syntax highlighting -
Unitron

MonoDevelop

Also it does a weird job of predicting what you are typing, sometimes it picks up and you custom variables (which is cool) but sometimes it does stuff like this -

Why wouldn’t it suggest GameObject?

Anyway hopefully I’m doing something wrong.

We have to start using mono? This is new to me, what happen to unitron with u4?

As far as the prediction tags I have no idea, mono has never been in my interest :slight_smile:

Unitron doesn’t come with unity 4 as far as i know. You can still use the version from 3 but no stuff wont highlight. Just remember to copy it into a safe place before you install 4.

Because unityscript sucks, thats why it doesnt show gameobject! :stuck_out_tongue:

For the other thing, just use monodevelop for the time bieng, it aint that bad.

Wrong answer.

Same issue. Monodevelop can’t find correct completion candidate occasionally.

My personal point of view is a wrong answer? :open_mouth: whoa, i gotta rethink everything then.

Edit: Also MonoDevelop isnt made by unity.
