Can a script have 2 Update methods

I have a problem with my update function. I have a class called HydraBehaviour for my Hydra Enemy in my game. And the HydraBehaviour inherits from the EnemyBehaviourClass which is a class with a update method to ChasePlay(); and StopChasingPlayer();.

In my Hydra class I want to create the attack System, because not all Enemies will have the same time attacking style. And so my problem is that I can't use the update method in Hydra Class, because it's already used in the EnemyBehaviourClass. So I'm forced to use Fixed Update but that's not the way to go.

You can have an update function in your HydraBehaviour and call the update function in EnemyBehaviourClass.

public class HydraBehaviour : EnemyBehaviourClass
{
    void Update()
    {
        base.Update();

        // Your Hydra specific code goes here
    }
}

Just make sure your Update function in EnemyBehaviourClass is either public or protected. This will not work if the function is private.
