Allow objects to be dragged in-game with mouse?

Asked by 4 years ago
Edited 4 years ago

I know this is not a request site, but I cannot find anything about this topic online that fits my needs.

I am in need of a system/script that allows when a player clicks (holds) an object, they can drag the object around, like in Lumber Tycoon 2. All I need is a way for players to hold click on an object and drag it around (nothing else). Again, I tried looking online but only find ways to move objects with only the x-axis and not the y-axis. I do not need scripts, just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

The link above does relate to my problem, I looked at the answer and do not know how to apply it and use the scripts provided.

I'd suggest utilizing the .Hit property of the player's mouse with of course the user input service.

It returns the in-game Vector3 position that your mouse is ending at and you can subsequently set the Vector3 of an object to that position.
