Unity C# Scripting Support

Most of the C# scripting supported in the Creator Toolkit is out-of-the-box C# scripting in Unity. This means that if you're familiar with scripting in Unity, you'll feel right at home in Spatial.

There are some key differences from standard Unity development:

Spatial Toolkit Projects are hosted by the Spatial app, so the build and packaging process is different than building a regular Unity app.
C# code for Spatial Toolkit Projects is interpreted, so performance is slower than a natively compiled app.
Certain operations, such as avatar control, camera control, network updates must be done using the Spatial APIs. More information about key differences is here.

Having access to Unity’s APIs in your project gives you amazing creative possibilities.

<aside> 🗒️ If you're new to C# scripting in Unity or need a refresher, Unity's comprehensive documentation is an excellent resource.

<aside> <img src="/icons/warning_red.svg" alt="/icons/warning_red.svg" width="40px" /> Spatial supports a subset of Unity C# APIs for security reasons. These limitations are enforced for you through the editor; learn more on our C# Scripting API Limitations page.

Questions, Feedback, or Need to Use ___ API But It’s Not Supported?

<aside> <img src="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" alt="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" width="40px" /> If you need functionality of a certain API that is not supported let us know! We might be able to expand our supported APIs or write similar functionality in a Spatial-unique API.

Additionally, we want your feedback regarding our documentation. Is something missing, not clear, or maybe we need to up our code sample game?

The best place to give this kind of feedback directly to the team is the Creator Toolkit section of the Spatial Discord.
