Why MonoBehavior vs GameObject?

[tvance929]

Can anyone explain why the instructor chose the CurrentActiveWeapon to be MonoBehavior vs a GameObject?

[Brian_Trotter]

So that we can use the currentActiveWeapon as IWeapon. This construction will not work with GameObjects.

You could also make the currentActiveWeapon a GameObject and use

currentActiveWeapon.GetComponent<IWeapon>()

to reference the IWeapon calls.
