Need help with virtual void

I'm trying to make use of virtual voids but for some reason, unity isn't finding the virtual void

Script 1 (the one where the virtual void is created):

Code (CSharp):

1.     public virtual void Interact () {
2.         Debug.Log("I got called");
3.     }

and this is script 2 (the one that can't find the virtual void and can therefor not overwrite it) :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class DoorSystem : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public override void Interact () {
8.         base.Interact
9.         }
10. }
11.  

The error I get from Unity is: 'DoorSystem.Interact()' is marked as an override but no suitable method found to override

I'm kind of new to this so it might be an obvious error, but could someone please help me fix it?

ps: Script 1 is only a snippet of the entire script (just to make sure that there are no misunderstandings)

 

DoorSystem needs to inherit whatever class has the virtual void (right now it inherits from MonoBehaviour).

 

Your DoorSystem class inherits from MonoBehaviour and not from the base class.

 

You are saint, thanks for the lightning speed reply!
