Setup VS2022

Setup VS2022

1. Install Visual Studio 2022
2. In Godot Editor > Editor Settings
3. Search for "external editor"
4. Go to Dotnet > Editor and set External Editor to Visual Studio
5. Click on any script in the game engine

I recommend installing the Doki Theme. There are so many good color themes here, don't let the previews on their page throw you off. I personally like using the following themes: Aqua, Astolfo, Coconut, Echidna, Mioda Ibuki Dark and Satsuki Light.

Setup Debugging

1. In VS2022, navigate to Debug > Template Debug Properties

3. Create a new "Executable" profile
4. Set the executable path to where Godot_v4.3-stable_mono_win64.exe is located
5. Set the working directory to '.' without the ''
6. Set a breakpoint somewhere where you want the code to pause
7. Click the green arrow "Profile 1" to launch the game with debugging enabled
