Is there any way to make an extendable class like in java?

Exactly what the title says, because it's the way I would ideally make weapons in my game.

 

When you define the class, you put the class it "extends" after it with a colon

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Child : Parent {
2.     // stuff in class
3. }

 

Is the class just any class, and is the parent Mono? And do they have to be child and parent in the hierarchy?

 

Typed from my phone but the basic outline of how it works.

Code (CSharp):

1. Public class WeaponClass:Monobehaviour{
2. Public Virtual void Use(){
3. \\code
4. }
5. }

Code (CSharp):

1. Public class Submachine gun:WeaponClass{
2. Public override void Use(){
3. base.Use();
4. //Other code
5. }
6. }

 

The parent can extend MonoBehaviour only if you want to attach it to a GameObject as a component. Attaching the component is the way to create an instance.

If you don't want to attach it to a GameObject, the parent does not need to inherit from anything. The way to instantiate it is using the "new" keyword.
