Took me another while to notice this framework sentence in 'Enabling code completion' section of VS Code and Unity page. When I hit the issue, I searched the net a while and see this question. When I started trying Unity, and VS Code with it, this was the missing part I wasn't aware of. NET Framework 4.6 Targeting Pack'įirst of all, I work with dotnet core, not the standard, so I don't have standard libraries installed on my computer. I had the issue myself, so this one is possibly the first that should be checked. Though the question is 2 years old, the problem pops up occasionally, just like happened to me. The first is for quickly typping common Unity patterns and the second is for showing Unity Debug warnings and errors as you type instead of saving and going back to Unity and reading the console. Now, what about Unity Code Snippets and Debugger for Unity extensions? Well these are useful helper extensions but they have nothing to do with Intellisense.

Open any C# file from Unity and you should be good to go.

I checked Embedded Packages, Local Packages, and Packages from unknown sources.

In Unity go to Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools and choose VSCode from the dropdown (could be listed as code.cmd) and after you choose it tick all the checkboxes you want in the Generate.

This will enable Unity to generate proper project files for VSCode.

In Unity go to Package Manager and install Visual Studio Code Editor.

In VSCode search for the 'C# for Visual Studio Code' extension and install it.

NET installed by typing dotnet in the VSCode terminal. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application.

NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1 were not found. NET core SDK, but the Framework Dev Pack because otherwise VSCode is going to be throwing this error: These are the things you MUST do for this to work:

I would really like to clear things up a bit for everyone trying to get intellisense working with Visual Studio Code.įirst of all I am writing this for Unity 2019.4.14 as it is the newest version.
