RPC and inheritance

Hi, I just tested something and it seems that RPCs in Unity don't support inheritance. Is that correct?

 class Unit : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     [RPC] 
     public void Test () {}
 }

 class Melee : Unit 
 {
 }
 

If I have a unit with Melee script on it, RPC won't be received as RPC function "Test" cannot be found.

 class Unit : MonoBehaviour 
 {
 }

 class Melee : Unit 
 {
     [RPC] 
     public void Test () {}
 }

On the contrary, this works and Test will be executed.

This introduces a set of new problems for us, can you please confirm that this is Unity's standard behaviour? I hope we are doing something wrong...

We are using Photon but that should behave the same way as the integrated networking as far as I know.

EDIT: Photon (PUN) class for the solution below:

1, in case the solution scripts are in the Plugin folder, move them out to your script folder

2, InheritableRPC.cs, replace the second class with this:

 public static class InheritableRPCExtensions
 {
     public class StoredPlayer
     {
         public string ipAddress, guid;
         public int port;
     }
     
     public static void RPCEx(this PhotonView view, string routineName, PhotonTargets targets, params object[] parameters)
     {
         using(var m = new MemoryStream())
         {
             var b = new BinaryFormatter();
             b.Serialize(m, parameters);
             m.Flush();
             var s = Convert.ToBase64String(m.GetBuffer());
             view.RPC("PerformRPCCall", targets, routineName, s);
         }
     }
 
     public static void RPCEx(this PhotonView view, string routineName, PhotonPlayer player, params object[] parameters)
     {
         using(var m = new MemoryStream())
         {
             var b = new BinaryFormatter();
             b.Serialize(m, parameters);
             m.Flush();
             var s = Convert.ToBase64String(m.GetBuffer());
             view.RPC("PerformRPCCall", player, routineName, s);
         }
     }
 }

3, example code. SampleCaller.cs class:

 public class SimpleCaller : MonoBehaviour {
     public PhotonView otherView;
     
     void Start ()
     {
         Network.InitializeServer(200,8081,true);
     }
     
     void OnGUI()
     {
         if(GUILayout.Button("Call Print"))
         {
             otherView.RPCEx("PrintThis", PhotonTargets.All, "Hello World");
         }
     }
 }
