Unity Code Assist improves your coding experience with Visual Studio and VS Code by adding more features for Unity projects. Coding Unity scripts becomes easier and more efficient and with fewer bugs.
Connect your game editor and IDE, let Unity and Visual Studio/VS Code share data between each other. Enrich your coding experience with the new data available.
Features:
- Code Completion: More content for code completion (aka IntelliSense) which is specialized for common Unity APIs and your own projects.
- Inline Visuals: Displays visual information about your scene data and assets.
- Code Analyzers: Additional analyzers on top of the default ones (Microsoft.Unity.Analyzers), which are focused on memory and CPU utilization.
- Code Transformers: Apply common design patterns to your code base instantly. This feature is available only in Visual Studio, not available in VS Code, for now.
- Generative AI: Use OpenAI ChatGPT or Google Gemini to complete or analyze your code. This feature is available only in Visual Studio, not available in VS Code, for now.
Requirements: Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code (1.75+) is required. It is not compatible with Visual Studio for Mac, Rider or any other IDE or text editor.
