When I ask AI Ass to fix something or add something, sometimes it says something to the effect of "I changed this and change this" but it doesn't show me anything and I dont know where the changes actually are. If I ask it to show me the whole file, it tells me that its already in the context. So if I cant copy the code and paste it in the file via VS or something and it doesnt automatically update the code, then where is it?

Unity likely has some kind of harness on top of the model with some hidden context. For example for tool calls and such. The model might be seeing that, but not the user.
That or the model just hallucinates. Honestly didn't have good impression of it from the few attempts of using it.

So far I've had better luck with Copilot or ChatGPT. I've just been experimenting and seeing how much of a game I can make using nothing but AI. So far I am spending more time getting AI to understand what I want than to just write the code myself.
But I did figure out that if you say like "the line should draw from point A to point B" it will basically just tell you how to do it. But if you say like "add code where the line should draw from point A to point B" it will write the code and show you the changes.
But you still have to copy and paste it to VS or whatever. And Save will open up a save dialog but you still have to browse to the path where it's stored every time which is a PITA.

The AI is supposed to help rather than code for you. It can offer advise on how to do something in a way 'Unity recommend' how reliable that is, is hard to say it's still in its beta testing phase

I'm still confused as to where the code "updates" go. When I ask for a change, it tells me it "updated" the code but it's nowhere to be found and does not trigger the API Updater or anything. HELP!

If it's just for coding, I'd just recommend using github copilot, roo code, cline, codex or any other agentic coding assistant.

When using /code with the Assistant, you need to click Save whenever you update any code. It will ask you where to save the file each time

Okay but it doesnt always give me a save button
