I have a bunch of spheres is a scene that all have this drag object script:
public class drag : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector3 mOffset;
private float mZCoord;
void OnMouseDown()
{
mZCoord = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(gameObject.transform.position).z;
// Store offset = gameobject world pos - mouse world pos
mOffset = gameObject.transform.position - GetMouseAsWorldPoint();
}
private Vector3 GetMouseAsWorldPoint()
{
// Pixel coordinates of mouse (x,y)
Vector3 mousePoint = Input.mousePosition;
// z coordinate of game object on screen
mousePoint.z = mZCoord;
// Convert it to world points
return Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePoint);
}
void OnMouseDrag()
{
transform.position = GetMouseAsWorldPoint() + mOffset;
Debug.Log(this.transform.position);
}
}
This script works great until time.timescale is set to 0 via a UI button. while the game is paused, the object can be dragged once normally, but then to move the object again, you must move your mouse to the original location before the drag instead of the actual position.
Steps to re-create:
1.Make a new 2d game
2.Make a sphere, attach the above script
3.Set time scale to 0
4.Try and drag the sphere twice
I can send my project if necessary
ill share it as an answer, but you are right, tested now in the 2018 lts version and there is that bug, i have rechecked in the version 2018.1.9.f2 and in that version its working fine without issues the same script, the Collider component changed while in mousedrag event, but right after the onmouseup event is fired the center of the box collider gets reseted, ill report it as a bug
I found a weird solution, first you need to save all the stats temporally and remove the rigidbody in the OnMouseDrag function. Then add the rigidbody and its stats back in the OnMouseUp function. I dont know why it works, but it dose.
Just had the same issue and discovered this thread, so I want to share the solution that I went with.
The problem we had is that by setting Time.TimeScale to 0 we pause the FixedUpdate by Physics. This is however where transforms and the colliders that are required for clicking on the object with the mouse get synced.
In my project the preferred solution was to use Physics.SyncTransforms:
void OnMouseDrag()
{
transform.position = GetMouseAsWorldPoint() + mOffset;
Physics.SyncTransforms();
}
Sometimes you might want to change the setting more permanently with Physics.autoSyncTransforms, see documentation.
Documentation:
By the way the currently accepted solution circumvents the issue by deleting and re-adding a rigidbody, which if you look at the performance is less optimal than syncing transforms. Whilst I don’t know for sure I am assuming what deleting/re-adding does for you is basically forcing an internal Physics.SyncTransforms() call, but it would come with a lot of additional calls and would produce garbage for the garbage collector.
