I just started game development on unity and wanted to write some code in Visual Studio 2019 but when I started typing some code no syntax was being shown below. I mean when I write a dot in c# a dropdown menu should appear with commonly used lines with their definition.

Sorry for using bad terms I hope you are understanding and I want this to help me in C#.

The first thing you need to do is go to visual studio installer and download tools for unity, if that doesn't work, inside unity navigate to edit > preferences then under external tools make sure you have visual studio selected and not open by file extension.

VS-code is more better if you are starting out and it is light weight. Install VS-Code from here

If you mean to say you want to enable unity-intellisense, then in your unity editor go under edit > preferences. See the image below. Select VS-Code as your ide and for generate .csproj files uncheck all and check only registry packages, then hit regenrate .csproj files. It will take time to generate them. In Vs-Code install the c-sharp extension and reload the window. Then you should be ready to start using it for game developement in unity. preferences image c-sharp extension image

But if you want for Visual Studio only install Visual Studio depedencies from unity hub while installing the version

unityhub installation for visual studio

  • no only select that one option and deselect rest all so you can install only the dependencies for Visual Studio, do this only for those version which you have installed the build options already – NrdyBhu1 Oct 16 '20 at 10:04
