Moving a 3d object in unity on mouse click with click to move controller

d_webb · March 18, 2013, 9:15pm

Hi,

I am using a custom character controller that moves my character around a scene through mouse clicks, similar to diablo. I would like to be able to click on an object in the scene that would then disable the controller and move the object with the mouse until clicked again, at which point the object would detach from the mouse at that position and the click to move controller would be re-enabled.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

sorry for how long this is, i don’t really know where I would alter this for the desired effect. the code was provided by some programming students in a concurrent program with mine. we are getting minimal code support for it
