I am having some trouble with inheritance in Unity. I have two classes, one called Angry and one called Emotion, where Angry inherits Emotion.
Emotion looks like this:
public abstract class Emotion : MonoBehaviour {
public abstract void initialize(float _strength, float _flux, UMAExpressionPlayer umaExpression);
public abstract void emote();
public void initialize(float _strength, float _flux, float _duration, UMAExpressionPlayer _umaExpression){
initialize(_strength, _flux, _umaExpression);
}
void Update()
{
}
}
And Angry looks like this:
public class Angry : Emotion {
public override void initialize(float _emotion_strength, float _flux, UMAExpressionPlayer _umaExpression) {
}
public override void emote()
{
}
}
Now to the problem. Instantiating Angry always returns null. I.e. (new Angry() == null) always returns true. But if i remove the inheritance from MonoBehaviour, i.e. remove ": MonoBehaviour" from Emotion, this stops being the case and I get an instance of Angry. Why is this? What am I missing here?
