class in UnityEngine
/
Inherits from:Behaviour
/
Implemented in:UnityEngine.CoreModule
MonoBehaviour is the base class from which every Unity script derives.
When you use C#, you must explicitly derive from MonoBehaviour.
This class doesn't support the null-conditional operator (?.) and the null-coalescing operator (??).
For code samples, see the individual MonoBehaviour methods.
Note: There is a checkbox for enabling or disabling MonoBehaviour in the Unity Editor. It disables
functions when unticked. If none of these functions are present in the script, the Unity Editor does not
display the checkbox. The functions are:
Start()
Update()
FixedUpdate()
LateUpdate()
OnGUI()
OnDisable()
OnEnable()
