I just barely started learning Unity yesterday and have been using Imphenzia’s Basic Tutorial (
), but around the 48:53 he says to press period . to show options for what I can do with the Input thing. But I have none of those options.
I would like to be able to see these options so I don’t have to type out the whole thing when beginning to make something of my own. Any help would be appreciated.
Imphenzia is The Best!
What you want is called Intellisense and it often malfunctions.
This may help you with intellisense and possibly other Visual Studio integration problems:
Sometimes the fix is as simple as doing Assets → Open C# Project from Unity. Other times it requires more.
Other times it requires you also nuke the userprefs and .vsconfig and other crufty low-value high-hassle files that Visual Studio tends to slowly damage over time, then try the above trick.
Barring all that, move on to other ideas:

Also, try update the VSCode package inside of Unity: Window → Package Manager → Search for Visual Studio Code Editor → Press the Update button

By ‘nuking’ those other files you mean to delete them right? Or is there a way to fix them without deletion or is deleting them what you want?
Yes, generally with Unity, all csproj, sln, userprefs, and .vs and .vsconfig files can just be wantonly deleted because Unity will just remake them as needed (see above).
Those files are where Visual Studio places special data for whenever it wants to stop operating correctly.
Where can I find these files? And thank you for all of your help.
The root of your project, generally… where Assets and ProjectSettings and Packages folders are.
I think I found the files but now it is saying there is an error and when I click on the output it shows something so big I don’t even want to copy it here because I don’t know what’s useful information.
