If I remember correctly Text Editor it’s default macOS default app for opening text files.
Visual Studio available only on Windows.
You could try other code editor on macOS. For example Visual Studio for Mac (sounds similar but it’s different product), Rider (not free) or Visual Studio Code.
You could select code editor that Unity will use in Preferences on External Tools tab https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Preferences.html#External-Tools

to answer this we need to know what exactly doesn’t work at least.

Sorry for the confusion! It sounds like something didn’t quite install correctly, but you can fix it quickly following the Getting Started guide:

Getting Started with Visual Studio Tools for Unity | Microsoft Docs

In Unity, open the Unity > Preferences > External Tools menu and make sure Visual Studio for Mac is selected.

first off. sorry for the title. im 13 and didnt know. And second the problem with my code is that when i type in the code it says some error has occurred and i have to fix it before i run the project. so i go back into my text editor and make sure nothing is wrong with my code and nothing is. its the exact same as the tutorial. any fix for that?

Post the error your are seeing!

[Ray_Sovranti]

Copy and paste the exact code you’re using using code tags, a link to the tutorial you’re following, and the entire error message you’re getting.

With what you’ve told us so far, it could be almost anything. There are a number of seemingly insignificant syntax mistakes that are very hard to see, but cause compilation to break. It’s possible that you genuinely have done everything precisely according to the tutorial, but if you’re following a very old tutorial it might be using an obsolete function that has been removed. It’s possible that your error might be caused by some other setting or something. Without seeing the above information, we just can’t know and can’t help.

THIRD PERSON MOVEMENT in Unity

code I used:
using system.collections;
using system.collections.generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class ThirdPersonMovement : MonoBehavior
{
public CharacterController controller;

public float speed = 6f;

void update ()
{
float horizontal = input.GetAxisRaw(“horizontal”);
float vertical = input.GetAxisRaw(“vertical”);
vector3 direction = new vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical).normalized;

if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
{
controller.move(direction * speed * time.deltatime);
}
}
}

error message → all compilation errors most be fixed before entering play mode.
and when i create a new project it says: the project you are opening contains compilation errors.

and when my script gets entered in i should see this

but instead it just compiler errors and shows nothing
how should i fix this?

use code tag in the future. it will be much easier to read code

using System;

public class DummyClass
{
    public void DummyMethod
    {

    }
}

C# language is case sensitive.
I see few pleases where you use lower case instead of upper case:

• update() should be Update()
• input should be Input
• time should be Time
• vector should be Vector3

If you click on that it will open the console and you can see what the actual errors are. ( @VolodymyrBS has pointed out some of them. Your first two lines are also capitalized incorrectly)

thanks for the help! i got it working now,

I got this error because libssl1.1 was missing.

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
