Godot 4.4.1 C# Error 'no suitable method found to override'

Question

In Godot, I get the error 'no suitable method found to override' for the default _Ready() function.

using Godot;
using System;

public class Box
{
    public enum BoxType
    {
        //HURT_BOX,
        //BLOCK_BOX
    }

    public bool Enabled { get; set; }
    public int Damage { get; set; }
    public Keyframe[] Keyframes { get; set; }

    private MeshInstance3D _mesh;
    private Fighter Fighter;

    // Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.

    public override void _Ready() {}

Does anyone know why this error is showing up and how I can fix it?

I tested removing the line of code by commenting it out but the error still appears.

your class needs to inherit from Node (or Node3D / Node2D ) . public class Box : Node3D — Pac0

The override are applicable for the base Node class (and all its inherited classes, like Node2D or Node3D). Any new class you create that should be a n object in the Godot system should inherit at least from Node.

You probably want to inherit from Node3D given that you have a mesh instance... but ultimately you only know if it is only from Node - depends on if you want your Box objects to have positions / transforms in 3D space or not.

public partial class Box : Node3D  // Here : inheritance from Node3D
{
    // ...

    // Now there is a _Ready method to override:
    public override void _Ready() {}

}

Also note the partial . I don't have a Godot ready to test it, but that's shown like this in the documentation, it may be necessary as well.
