Concise, simple and informative. Your explanation of the code was very useful. Thank you for the great tutorial!

Thanks for ths. I'm brand new to Unity and this was very helpful. ALmost everything else I found had probably great scripts but none of them explained how to apply them. I had 2D rigid bosies, 3D rigid bodies, etc etc. Yours is the only one that explained it from the start, which made me realise I only needed a 2D box collider.

Thank you for describing what the code does in addition to showing us how to do this. It really helps with understanding the whole concept.

Thank you! I have been trying for days to get a click and drag method to work and yours is the first. Great tutorial!

Thank you so much it took me forever to find a video that worked I spent to hours just looking around on KZfaq thank you so much I really needed this your the best bro looking forward to more great videos

Super awesome this is exactly what I needed and worked with very minor changes. Thank you so much.

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I WANT TO THANK YOU IVE BEEN TRYING TO SEARCH FOR THIS FOR SO LONG THANK YOU THANK YOU

Very clear and helpful Nade, thanks.

Very nicely made and easy to follow. Thanks much.

Fantastic tutorial. Very clear one & you made it easy to understand :)

Great tutorial, man!!

Thanks for tutorial. It was great!

Thanks, very helpful and I like how you explain the code 😊

thanks man !!! great tutorial

Very good tutorial it really helped me keep up good content

Very helpful, thanks!

A very helpful tutorial, this one is

Best tutorial out there! :D

Very good code! Very good explanation!

great content, this saved me a lot of time. :D

Thx soo much your a life saver my guy 🙏

good job man. it help me a lot. thankyou

Thx bro, it dose help a lot

Best tutorial I've seen on this - how would i ensure that the objects are only moved within certain boundaries??

thank you for the tutorial.

I've watched a lot of code tutorials in the last 12 months and your manner in this one is one of the best. Subscribed based on this video and will browse for any others I find useful. Thank you. By manner I mean you spoke clearly, you didn't stop/start to think things through, you clearly had it well planned out prior and you focused on making it as concise as possible.

Thanks, you helped for a jam. My only feedback is to put the starpos varibles after we see the snaping issue so it is more clear. But still great video

i like your tutorial a lot

Thanks a lot. New subscriber gained

THIS WAS A FREAKIN' LIFE SAVER!!! Thank you so much for making this tutorial and explaining everything so well. I'm a junior in college working toward my degree in game design and development and I'm in the middle of an experimental design challenge for class where I've got 2 weeks to make a game on my own, but I've got a week left since I was having a hard time coming up with an idea. Luckily, I thought of one a couple days ago and it hinged on drag and drop which I've never done before and everything I was finding either didn't explain it nearly as well as you and made it sound more complicated than this which left me more confused and until I found your video I was starting to think that it might be outta scope for the time I have left and that I'd be screwed. So, I just wanted to make sure I took the time to let you know how much I appreciate your help, and I'll try to remember to send you a message with with a link the finished game when it's done :D

Great! I am a baby at coding but this is fairly simple.

Thank you SO MUCH for this !!! I liked and subscribed!

A day just searched this, at least find it thanks a lot.

Great Info. I have a question/request for you if you'll indulge me. How would I implement a click and drag like this but also just a quick click with the same button triggers another event? Obviously so the event doesn't trigger when I click AND drag.

I am making a chain with multiple links, and I've watched turotials on it and gotten it together. Now i want to move the top part of the chain, but when I do, the whole thing disconnects from the part i grab. Any help?

Question how can I make it so you can rotate the object by spinning it whilst holding it.. I have rigidbody2d on the object and stuff idk

excellent. THX

Could I add a rigidbody 2d to make it flail around , also how would (okay so I have this minigame in my game that has you drag your character around and fall but how would i make it so that only his arms and legs flail but his head and body stay still)

is there a way i could make it to where when i drag it over another object that can be dragged it only drags the one on top?

what if you wanted gravity to affect the sprite, so that once you release the mouse button it falls back to the ground?

5:45 isn't OnMouseDown() only called on left mouse clicks to begin with?

Hey all! As of now, I cannot create community posts for all of you to see until I have 1,000+ subs, so to see a video schedule of each week, and to post suggestions, please click the "Discussion" tab of my channel to check that out. Thanks!!

Just did everything, and when i try to click and drag, nothing happens? What did I do wrong? I included box colider and attached C# file to my sprite

Bravo!

It’s working all except for when I release the mouse button the sprite doesn’t release, any idea why? I’m very new to this so it’s probably a stupid mistake

Thanks!

so one problem. When i give the item a rigidbody the velocity just keeps speeding up if held leading to some umm.... large events

How can i do this with rigidbody, and a collider? the rigidbody acts weird (spinning randomly) and the colliders don't work. (going through other objects with colliders) i would like this for my game death simulator.

Any ideas on how to preserve velocity when you let go?

Edit: it was fixed but is there a way to add this to a ragdoll?

Hi There, thanks for the video, unfortunately the Object I assigned the Script to moves after game start and am not able to move it whatsoever...no errors showing after tagging the Main Camera.

How can we use this kind of control on more objects using the tag function?

Thank!

the final part is good, where we have this startposx and y , to avoid sudden snap middle. thanks

Everytime I type in the code it says somethings wrong I clicked it and It says theres an error on the 10th layer when nothing was there just the void Start thing. nevermind

Hey Nade! Can you tell me how to do this with rigidbody? I want to register collision so the dragged object won't go through another one

Hey I sat Time.timeScale To zero and if I clicked the object and drag it to another position and tried to move it again it doesn't move solution please and Thank you for that awesome tutorial.

Why theres is no monobehaviour. OnMouseDown and Up even I have box collider 2d??

Hey! I got this working for a sprite, but nothing seems to happen if this same process is applied to a UI image on a canvas. The box collider and script remain unchanged, it's just the type of gameobject. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

how can i maek it so that if i dont drag the object to the correct place, it goes back to its original position??

tell me how to make it all work with the camera in perspective mode?

I have a video request: It will build on this one. The request is, after taking your finger off the object, it is permanently placed, so you can't click on it to move it again. And in the same video, add an icon so we can delete any object on the scene after clicking on the object.

nice

Thanks for the great tutorial. I just had one question... When I am using this C# script the movement of the sprite lags behind the movement of the mouse (doesn't happen in your video)... I was wondering if you/anyone knows how to solve this?

hi Nade, Its very useful video, but i have a question.. why do you add box collider to that sprite, without adding the collider can we move or drag the object, if not could you explain why?

If I wanted the rectangle to keep moving to the side a bit after I released, any tips on how that's done, I'm new to c#. What I want is to drag the square with mouse hold, then on release I want the square to keep moving to the side that you were dragging in, kinda like real life. I tried adding gravity to the square in unity but it only makes the square fall down

gracias, me a servido

Is it possible to make this for mobile?

thanks a lot

how would you snap them to a grid?

Does anyone here know how to get this to work with a perspective camera? Thanks

How to make a sprite come to the front on mouse click? Please 🙏

I should point out that this runs into issues if you have other colliders on the parent or any children as those will set off the OnMouseDown event.

i litteraly copied the code, but when i try it ingame it doenst work does any1 know why??????

Idk why but the script doesnt work. Without any errors. Just my gameObject doesnt want to work

Sorry, but when i drag the object it dosent seems to move under the cursor, instead, goes to the center of the screen, and kind of moves, but certainly not as it does on the video, any idea?

Is there a way when i drop the object, it moves with physics

Please help, It doesn't work. like i checked every line of code i have and him. i see no difference and it doesn't really work. the script is also attached to the sprite as well

How come when using OnClick events the gameObjects dont collide?? Even with a boxcollider? I'm trying to do a puzzle thing where the pieces are blocked by one another, but they aren't colliding. Anyone know why?

finnaly some one who don't use canvas

i can still drag it even if i didnt put my mouse cursor on it, i just click on other spot and i can still drag it man

thazz love from India

When I click the object, it jumps to the corner of the canvas..

It doesnt work if i click it it only goes 1+ up

hey guys I have a little problem and was wondering if someone could help me, when I am starting to drag the object it becomes invisible in the game. However I can still see it in the scene and in the scene its not invisible... its invisible only in the game and only after I start dragging it... any help?

How does this work? like you're not even checking if the mouse is over the sprite? what am i missing

(41,11): error CS0106: The modifier 'private' is not valid for this item Any help? Here is the code. using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class StickManDragger : MonoBehaviour { private float startPosX; private float startPosY; private bool isBeingHeld = false; // Update is called once per frame void Update() { if (isBeingHeld == true) { Vector3 mousePos; mousePos = Input.mousePosition; mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos); this.gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(mousePos.x, mousePos.y, 0); } } private void OnMouseDown() { if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) { Vector3 mousePos; mousePos = Input.mousePosition; mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos); isBeingHeld = true; } private void OnMouseUp() { isBeingHeld = false; } } }

Cna you also do it so you can rotate the game object please with a d you can rotate it a is right d is left

will it work for android

you could use OnMouseDrag()

what if I want to restrict it's movement to x axis only?

is this working in mobile phones. i mean the Mousedown will do the touch in the phone screen

Is any one else having problems with not being able to move the platform

why do we need a vector3 in a 2d game? EDIT: I changed to vector 2d and its fine For anyone wanting to limit the axis of movement so for example you only want it to slide side to side then change the line un Update like below: this.gameObject.transform.localPosition = new Vector2(mousePos.x - startPosX, this.transform.localPosition.y);

i cant drag my object. its just change position when i clicked it .

Great tutorial and explaining! However, would you happen to know, how I could make this work the way, that if I have an object which is rectangle and it has gravity and I grab it from the bottom and drag it up somewhere where's no collider, it would flip it's self using the gravity. Sort of like "pinning" the object and rising/ moving it how the cursor moves. So if you were to spin the cursor the rectangle would spin due to G forces with rigidbody. Or if that's not explainable I'd like to know how I could make tossing possible. Like when I do a quick swipe to left and release mouse, the object would go flying that direction. If either of these are possible, it's fine and I'll see what I'll do. That would just make the feeling of the game I was working on much more panic punishing. Thanks in advance, if anyone was able to help! And thanks to you Nade for this great and easy tutorial!

the if(isBeingHeld == true) kinda killed me inside, but otherwise great tutorial!

Give the script pls unity says error

One question I have is: how do I make it so it can't go through walls

This work for thochscreen
