Protected Override Void Function Won't Call After Adding Void Update Loop

[latent ember]

I've added an update loop after a protected overrided void function and it won't call anymore. It derives from another script (not MonoBehaviour). Help is much appreciated tysm 🙂

It's hard to answer a programming question without code

Resolving a bug is almost impossible when the question doesn't include any of the buggy code. In order to help fix the problem, answerers are going to have to see what the code is.

Please isolate the problematic code and send it as a codeblock. If you don't know how to send a codeblock, type []cb

protected override void Shoot() //not activating but why?
{
    base.Shoot();

    GameObject New_Bullet = Instantiate(Bullet,Barrel.position,Pivot.rotation);
}

sorry

That's not a codeblock

Use codeblocks to send code in a message!

To make a codeblock, surround your code with ```
To use C# syntax highlighting add cs after the three back ticks like so:

```cs
// your code here
```

To send lengthy code, paste it into https://paste.myst.rs/ and send the link of the paste into chat.

[latent ember]

    {
        base.Shoot();

        GameObject New_Bullet = Instantiate(Bullet,Barrel.position,Pivot.rotation);
    }```

Where are you calling this method

[latent ember]

in a script deriving from another script under void update

not inside void update

[stable finch]

what

show the code where you're calling Shoot

[stable finch]

That's not calling it

[latent ember]

it calls normally when i run the script

because the script it derives from automatically calls it

[stable finch]

Where

[latent ember]

the script that the problematic one derives from

the shoot(); is overwritten

[stable finch]

Are you sure the if statement is executing?

[latent ember]

it executes when i remove the fixed update loop in the problematic script

[stable finch]

Well if Shoot is not being called, there are four possibilities

1. This behaviour isn't on any object
2. The object is disabled (ergo Update will not run)
3. Next_Time_To_Shoot is not low enough, meaning Time.time will never be greater than or equal to it
4. Current_Target is null

ty for ur help i will test out each of the 4

have a nice day
