#

@noble ingot You need to post these here. Didn't make a thread for nothing

noble ingot
#

sorry i ddint see the thread till after i had posted

shut cliff
#

Can you expand the Game Dev With Unity on the right pane?

noble ingot
#

it doesnt expand down

shut cliff
#

I'm doing it rn on my computer

noble ingot
#

there isnt an arrow on it i can see to expand it

shut cliff
#

On the right pane

#

You need to pay attention to what's written

noble ingot
#

ahh sorry i was looking for an arrow like on discord

shut cliff
#

...

#

I need to see the Unity in view...

#

I can only see C++ now

noble ingot
#

sorry i must have done the wrong one

#

hopefully thats right this time 😔

shut cliff
#

Did you install VS from the Unity Hub, or as a standalone app (from the website)?

noble ingot
#

i installed visual studio and unity seperetly as i need spesific versions for some of the projects i am working on . 2019 edition

#

its so anoying cause i dont know how im gonna get help with my code if this cant be fixed cause im stuck and dont know whats wrong with my code

shut cliff
#

Then you can uncheck that Unity Hub option on the right, you don't need it, it'll save some space

noble ingot
#

ok

shut cliff
#

Once that's done, you can hit Modify.

noble ingot
#

already done

shut cliff
#

Then select the VS install, click More > Repair

noble ingot
#

ok doing that now

#

just waiting on it debugging

shut cliff
#

Don't try to escape from the IDE configuration...

noble ingot
#

Ok just rebooting my pc up now

#

And opening the unity folder up

noble ingot
shut cliff
#

Oh I wasn't saying that for your original Unity issue, you'll see what I mean soon enough lmao

#

Anyway, once it's done, open Unity and take a screenshot of the External Tools config

noble ingot
#

How do I get into the external tools

#

Is it through preferences

shut cliff
#

Yeah, Edit > Preferences > External Tools

noble ingot
shut cliff
#

So, close Visual Studio first, then select anything else in the dropdown at the top

#

Hit Regenerate, then select VS back in the dropdown, and Regenerate again.

noble ingot
#

there isnt any other to pick

shut cliff
#

Ah, so just regenerate, and open VS back up by selecting any Unity script in your project

noble ingot
shut cliff
#

Oh wait!

#

It says incompatible on the Solution Explorer

noble ingot
#

should anything be coming up ? cause i dont think any of that code is wrong

#

it says that with all new scripts i start up

shut cliff
#

Can you go back to Unity, and open the Package Manager (Window > Package Manager), and make sure you have the Visual Studio Editor package installed?

noble ingot
shut cliff
#

The second one, update it to the lasest version

noble ingot
#

done

shut cliff
#

Regenerate, and restart VS

#

Also it says incompatible, did you get any message popping up when you first opened the project in VS?

noble ingot
#

just that it was incolpleet and that i could ether run it normaly or in safe mode i chose normsly as the code isnt finished

#

thats why it cant run propperly

shut cliff
#

No, in VS

#

Not in Unity

noble ingot
#

aww no

#

just to log back in

shut cliff
#

So, open a file explorer to where your project is located, we're going to do some cleanup

noble ingot
#

can we not just work on my programing issue i really just want to get this project finished

shut cliff
#

No.

noble ingot
#

why not

shut cliff
#

I have to go soon, we better move on

noble ingot
#

i just need to figure out why my code isnt doing what it should

#

i dont want the answer handed to me i want help

#

if thats ok

shut cliff
#

And to receive help you need a proper programming environment

noble ingot
#

i dont know if its cause ive mispelled something i am dyslexic

#

maybe i should try that ?

shut cliff
#

We'll solve code issues later

#

IDE first

noble ingot
#

my ide is fine i dont need all those pop ups ive been coding like this for months with no issue .

shut cliff
#

You're wasting my time here, I'm trying to help, but you're preventing it

noble ingot
#

i just dont want to do the visual studio stuff i just want to get help fixing my code

#

no offence

shut cliff
#

In VS, where it says (incompatible), right-click on it, and choose "Reload project with Dependencies" if there is that option

noble ingot
shut cliff
#

Well there we go

#

It solved it

noble ingot
#

ok can you help me with my code now please

shut cliff
#

No, I have to get off to work now, I'm late

noble ingot
#

will they help me in the channel ?

#

if i ask in there

shut cliff
#

Sure, given that it's well formatted and explained

noble ingot
