Unity SW Pack

Overview

Unity SW Pack makes Visual Studio Code a comfortable place to write Unity C#. It tells you which methods Unity calls for you, where a script is actually used, and how your UnityEvents are wired — without leaving the editor.

Built for Unity 6. Every feature can be turned off individually in the settings.

Features

Snippets for Unity messages — 65 templates covering the MonoBehaviour lifecycle, ScriptableObject and editor scripts.
Unity message markers — a marker above Awake, Start, Update and the rest, so they are never mistaken for dead code.
Hover documentation — hover a Unity message to read what it does and when it runs.
Scene and prefab usage — see how many scenes and prefabs use the script you are looking at, and which ones.
UnityEvent wiring — see where a method or UnityEvent field is connected in the Inspector, in both scenes and prefabs.
Coroutine toggle — switch a method between void and IEnumerator in one click, and the using System.Collections; is added for you.
.meta file sync — rename or delete an asset in the explorer and its .meta follows.
Documentation search — search the selected word in the Unity documentation for the version your project actually uses. Ctrl+Alt+U (Cmd+Alt+U on macOS).
Unity SW Pack Dark — a theme tuned for Unity C#.

Available in English, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Japanese. The extension follows the display language of VS Code.

Requirements

The C# extension.
The .NET SDK.
- Windows: sign out and back in after installing, so the PATH change takes effect.

Open the folder that contains Assets/, Library/ and ProjectSettings/ — that is, the Unity project root. Scene and prefab features need it to find your assets.

Settings

Setting	Default	What it does
`unitySWpack.unityEventMessage`	`true`	Mark the methods Unity calls for you
`unitySWpack.usageScenePrefab`	`true`	Show how many scenes and prefabs use the script
`unitySWpack.unityMessageHover`	`true`	Explain a Unity message on hover
`unitySWpack.typeToggle`	`true`	Offer the `void` ↔ `IEnumerator` switch
`unitySWpack.metaFileSync`	`true`	Keep `.meta` files in step with renames and deletes
`unitySWpack.searchInUnityDocs`	`true`	Add the documentation search command
`unitySWpack.unityEventLens`	`true`	Show where UnityEvents are wired up
`unitySWpack.onlyScenesInBuildSettings`	`false`	Read UnityEvent wiring only from scenes in the build settings
`unitySWpack.debugLogging`	`false`	Log indexing details to the Unity SW Pack output channel
`unitySWpack.diagnostics`	`true`	Report script-name mismatches, missing scripts and duplicate GUIDs
`unitySWpack.performanceDiagnostics`	`true`	Also point out costly calls inside per-frame callbacks

Notes

.meta sync reacts to renames and deletes made in the editor. Changes made from a terminal or from Unity itself are left to Unity, which maintains its own .meta files.

If a feature seems quiet on a large project, turn on unitySWpack.debugLogging and check the "Unity SW Pack" output channel — the first index of a big Assets/ folder takes a moment.
