So I decided to get Unity, but for scripting is there some sort of program you do it in? Like if i’m in unity and create a new JavaScript then click edit it brings up my notepad. The notepad isn’t very good for scripting in though because it doesn’t change the text color according to if the text is important or not. So what is the best environment to script in?
Thanks
depends on what you define as best. commonly the editor that comes with unity is enough if just this is your target, coloring and comparable things.
unity shouldn’t fire up notepad at all but uniscite on windows and unitron on osx unless you changed it manually in the editors preferences.
PS: Unity does not offer any java support. There is Unityscript though, a language thats similar to Javascript within given constraints.
You can change the editor to whatever you like.
In the main upper toolbar go to Edit and then to Preferences….
A preferences window will open, at the General tab menu by default.
Go to the External Script Editor and click on the combobox, you will probably be presented with a few options (UniSciTE, and MonoDevelop) so select the one you prefer accordingly.
In case that you can’t do any of the selections above, click on the Browse… selection in order to locate the editor yourself (find the executable file of the editor).
For example in my PC are located in these filepaths:
UniSciTE
C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\Tools\UniSciTE
MonoDevelop
C:\Program Files\Unity\MonoDevelop\bin\MonoDevelop.exe
ok thanks! It’s fixed
