i mean i know how to do that with virtual methods, abstract class and interfaces, but unity behave in different ways if there are particular methods or not. and the code is way better in the way unity does that.

I don't know about unity but .net has reflection.

o yes, no i see how he does that (propably)

trough reflection, in the standard costructor, it binds every event in the base class to every method with the same name in the derived class.

i'm not sure if this is better than regular inheritance

As general statement I say no.

A bug I had recently was I had a method marked as 'new' rather than 'override', so when I called methodName() on its base class, the 'new' method didn't get fired.

I guess I don't understand what 'new' methods would be useful for.
