| ''<translate>You will need to know the basics of the [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/ C# Programming Language] to write plugins.</translate>''

| # <translate>Download [https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/ Visual Studio Community edition], which allows for easier programming and compilation of plugins.</translate> ''<translate>However, you can use your favourite code editor as long as you know how to compile C# into a</translate> <code>.dll</code>''
| | ] |
| #* <translate>During installation, ensure to select .NET desktop development which will give you the .NET Framework development tools, which are required to compile the plugin</translate>
| | |Globals= |
| # <translate>Create a new project using the <code>Class Library</code> template (please ensure it is the C# option). Guidelines follow:</translate>
| | [ |
| ## <translate>The project name ''should'' be the name of your plugin, same with the ''solution name''. It is recommended to '''not''' check the box for ''Place solution and project in the same directory'', as you may have multiple parts to your plugin, such as a [[How_To_Write_Plugins/ProtoFlux_Binding|ProtoFlux Binding]] generator.</translate>
| | {"Name": "Global1", "Type": "User"}, |
| ## <translate>Select the default framework, we'll be manually editing this later.</translate>

| # <translate>Add references to the following libraries by right clicking on <code>Dependencies</code>, clicking <code>Add Project Reference</code> and then <code>Browse</code>.</translate>

| ## Elements.Core.dll - <translate>Found in</translate> Resonite/Resonite_Data/Managed/Elements.Core.dll
| | |}} |
| # <translate>Change the referenced framework to</translate> <code>net462</code>. <translate>To do this:</translate>
| |
| ## <translate>Double click on your project name, this will be under your solution</translate>
| |
| ## <translate>Change the line</translate> <code><TargetFramework><translate>whatever_you_selected_earlier</translate></TargetFramework></code> <translate>to</translate> <code><nowiki><TargetFramework>net462</TargetFramework></nowiki></code> <translate>and save the file</translate>
| |
| # <translate>Change Your Assembly Info file to tell [[FrooxEngine]] what type of plugin you are making.</translate>
| |
| ## <translate>Create a folder inside your project called</translate> <code>Properties</code>
| |
| ## <translate>Create a file called</translate> <code>AssemblyInfo.cs</code> <translate>which contains the line</translate> <code><nowiki>[assembly: DataModelAssembly(t)]</nowiki></code><translate>, where</translate> <code>t</code> <translate>is a [[How_To_Write_Plugins/DataModelAssemblyType|DataModelAssemblyType]].</translate>

| | |
| {{Note|<translate>The framework</translate> <code>net462</code> <translate>(step 4) is going to be changed in the future, this will most likely happen with the switch from Unity to [[Sauce]]</translate>|warning}} | |
