When I typed out this code the variable Vector3 and Animator didn't light up blue.

I am not sure if I installed everything correctly, I don't want to continue doing the work if, in the end, it doesn't work because I am missing some key information or data. I updated Unity while doing this project (maybe that did something?).

I have the same problem. Here's my code

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {

private Animator playerAnimator; 
private float moveHorizontal;
private float moveVertical;
private Vector3 movement;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal");
    moveVertical = Input.GetAxisRaw ("Vertical");

    movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
}

}

Do Vector3 and Animator light up in the same colour, even if it is different from the default C# variable types? I'm using Visual Studio, so I don't know about MonoDevelop, but in VS default data types light up in dark blue and Unity's in cyan. So it might not be an issue, as long as they light up.

They light up as black. I have also noticed there is no auto fill when I was using the variable Vector3 to write Vector3.zero.

I am also using Visual Studios.
