I trying to pick a ball from one cup and drop it in an other cup with a tong sort of thing. New to unity and script. Pls help with the script or how to accomplish this in unity.

This isn't a trivial topic, but the easiest way would probably be to add a trigger game object to the end of your tongs, then parent the tongs to the ball temporarily. I haven't had time to test any of the following code so I'm sure there are syntax errors, but perhaps this will serve as a starting point for this discussion. By the way, you'll need to drop your tong object into the variable in the inspector.

You could also do it with a hinge or fixed joint if your two objects are rigidbodies. That can be scripted as well.

private var grab : boolean = false;
    var tong : Transform;
   private var grabObject: Transform;

    function Update()
    {
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && grab)
    {
    grabObject.parent = tong;
    }
    else if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1") && !grab && grabObject)
    {
    grabObject.parent = null;
    }
    }

    function OnTriggerEnter (hit : Collider)
    {
    grab = true;
    if (hit.gameObject.name == "ball";
    {
    grabObject = hit.transform;
    }
    }

    function OnTriggerExit ()
    {
    grab = false;
    }
