Can anyone help me? I am looking to make a demonstration for a new game concept...

Unity Engine
1

I have so far created 3 objects, a first person controller, a plane and a sphere.

I am trying to discover a way to make my fpc ‘push’ the sphere along the floor. I want to be able to do this by pressing the mouse button and ‘releasing’ the button to push. I can’t see this dynamic in any tutorials online (ie the release of the button being the command rather than the pressing of the button).

Ultimately, my goal is to be able to push the sphere (when it is close to the FPC) to wherever the cursor is pointing - by releasing the mouse button.

If anyone is able to help I would be truly grateful.

Getting a concept working would be a massive step for me, as a long term player becoming jaded and knowing that I have better ideas than the established industry. I need to be able to demonstrate this concept to communicate it.
I have the game all mapped out on paper - this is the next babystep…

Thanks for reading and for any help you can offer!

You’ll need to write in a script during Update() an if statement for detecting the release of the mouse. Pressing down left mouse button would be
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
}

Releasing the left mouse button
if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) {
}

Take a look at the scripting reference for the Input system, or simply type Input. in your script to see the list of available options.
