If you’ve got a player character in your game that derives its movement from a Rigidbody or Rigidbody2D component in Unity, and you write a script to make your camera follow it, you will likely see jittering in your camera movement.
Here’s an example:
Recently, I came across an error that was quite the head-scratcher while grading some Unity scripts. Here’s what the error says:
myAnim variable was set with myAnim = GetComponent<Animator>() earlier on. But SetBool() is a valid method in the Animator component from Unity, so what exactly is going on here?
<global namespace> already contains a definition for…Here’s a common error that people usually run into when doing Unity scripting, and it’s one that even reasonably-skilled programmers can take awhile to fix.

One of the biggest perks of using Microsoft’s Visual Studio to write your Unity scripts is IntelliSense — a code completion aid in Visual Studio that offers suggestions as you write your code, and contextually presents you with information about classes, properties and methods that you are working with.
Given Unity’s enormous scripting API, IntelliSense is a tremendously helpful feature, especially for coders who are beginning their foray into developing games and software with Unity; and while we’d love to say that IntelliSense is automatically set up and linked to Unity’s API when you install it with the Unity Editor, sometimes that’s just not the case. So, if you’ve got both Unity and Visual Studio set up, but find that IntelliSense is still not offering Unity API suggestions, then this guide is for you.
