When you use C#, you must explicitly derive from MonoBehaviour!

Many beginners seem to think that all code must be monobehaviour derived classes in Unity
Actually you are probably best writing most of your code in straight C# classes as you would anywhere else.
But I noticed this help text may not be helping!:

"MonoBehaviour is the base class from which every Unity script derives.
When you use C#, you must explicitly derive from MonoBehaviour."

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html

something to change?!

 

Tell that to the ScriptableObject.

 

That's andyz's point. I agree; it's confusing. If you post this in the Documentation section, they may clarify it.

 

And that's my point, that I agree with Andyz's point. Instead of being funny and unhelpful, my response was unfunny and unhelpful.

 

No, I can be a bit dense at times.

 

Its old wording from the UnityScript days. UnityScript implicitly derived from monobehaviour, while C# requires explicit derivation. Without the context of UnityScript, it doesn't make any sense written this way.

 

Ah could be. Anyway I sent document feedback
