Monkey doesn't allow you to overload an inherited method. Why? I could hazard a guess as to the motivation, but it wouldn't help you. You need to change the method name or bring your new method up the inheritance tree. |

The method Bar needs to be identical in parameters for both methods base and extended. Apparently it's normal behavior. I didn't like it either but I had to do a work around with my game. Such as: Method bar(x:int=0,y:int = 0) End Method and apply it to both classes. |
