`logwarn`	Unity log warning Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.LogWarning($VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Show basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated
`logex`	Unity log exception Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.LogException($VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Show basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated
`menuitem`	Unity menu item handler Scope C# 2.0+ type members, Unity C# file Body [UnityEditor.MenuItem($MENUNAME$)] public static void $NAME$() { $END$ } Parameters `MENUNAME` - Show basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated `NAME` - Show basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated `END` - The caret position after the template is applied.
`sfield`	Unity serialized field Scope C# 2.0+ type members, Unity serializable type members Body [UnityEngine.SerializeField] private $TYPE$ $NAME$;$END$ Parameters `TYPE` - no macro `NAME` - When executed in variable declaration (where variable name should stand), suggests name for the variable. `END` - The caret position after the template is applied.
`logerr`	Unity log error Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.LogError($VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Show basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated
