Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise with the latest beta of Unity

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hey there,

I wanted to know how you could hook up VS Enterprise with the latest beta of Unity, when I try to open a script it will show up, but VS does not know that it is not only a .cs file. I can’t attach to unity, no auto complete etc.

Thanks for any kind of help!,I wanted to ask if it is possible, if yes how, to use VS Enterprise with the full support for unity. When I tried it only would load the script, but I can not attach it to unity, I can’t use auto complete etc.

Thanks for any kind of help!

PS: The topic is so wired because I couldn’t select something different.

Using atten in place of the attenuation variable in the color output gave the same, if not a bit of a lessened result. Meaning, using atten made it a little brighter than using attenuation, but still didn't fix the issue. I also just wanted to give a little more control over attenuation by adding my own variable. Admittedly though, I don't know much about shader or lighting calculations, so I might've done something wrong. Is there a way I'm supposed to use atten in the code that would fix the issue?

In the “Visual Studio Installer”, select “Mobile & Gaming → Game Development with Unity”.

Then in Unity, go to “Preferences → External Tools → External Script Editor” and select VS2017

But this will only install Unity 2017.2 ?
