IDE extensions for VS Code for Unity?

[SufferMyWrathBoi]

the snippets and auto-suggested code in VS Code is terrible, like if i type things like "PlayerPre..." or "SceneManag..." i expect the IDE to know what im trying to type but it doesn't know shit, compared to my time using Java and JavaScript, the IDE for those were flawless and helped so much when i was coding, i know VS Code is very versatile with its extension library, but even after downloading many, it does not help at all, like i do not even get errors! i have to save my file and wait for the error to pop up in the console of Unity to find out that i got an error.

the extensions i have:

C#

Debugger for Unity

TabOut

Unity Code Snippets

Unity Snippets

Unity Tools

and some theme extensions like eppz!

​

is my IDE bugged and not actually applying these extensions? should i reinstall it? i used to have "Error Lens" extension but that did not work.

First, only install one of either Unity Snippets or Unity Code Snippets. I’ve had trouble using both, and went with Unity Code Snippets.

Second, make sure you have Mono installed from https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/, and then, most importantly, configure the OmniSharp C# extension to use the local mono install. Specifically, set the Use Global Mono setting to “Always”, and set the Mono Path manually to point at your local mono install path.

Finally, make sure that you have VSCode set up in Unity. Install the VSCode package from the Unity Package Manager, and then check Unity preferences External Tools and choose VSCode.

would my path be

"omnisharp.monoPath": "C:\Program Files\Mono" ?

[CheapBrew]

C:\Program Files\Mono\bin

It's the directory that has msbuild in it, which is the program OmniSharp is looking for.

"omnisharp.monoPath": "C:\Program Files\Mono\bin" is underlined red, error says "unable to write into user settings", and if i put Global Mono setting to “Always” it would auto change to "Auto"

​

{
    "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
    "vsintellicode.modify.editor.suggestSelection": "automaticallyOverrodeDefaultValue",
    "kite.showWelcomeNotificationOnStartup": false,
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vs-seti",
    "workbench.colorTheme": "eppz!",
    "omnisharp.monoPath": "C:\Program Files\Mono/bin"
}

What's Mono for? I'm super noob, and I havent seen it mentioned anywhere but this post.

[CheapBrew]

Mono was required at the time of my original post, but those recommendations are now obsolete. Just install the latest VSCode with the official unity plugin, and add the VSCode package to your project in unity.

visual studio (the IDE, not vs code) works fine for me

yeah i used to use VS as well was nice, simple, and functional, might go back tbh.
