How to make an Interaction Feature (Unity Tutorial) 

Super effective and flexible way to make interaction systems instead of having a lot of different scripts with different rays sending out to different things. Thanks for the tutorial :)

I'm beginner and I totally understand, thank you so much for the great tutorial

Really nice tutorial! straight to the point, i would love more tutorials about Horror Games

Great tutorial! I learned a lot.

Thanks! I'm a beginner and made it first with colliders but that was not good at all. Now it feels good.

this is so easy I watched a ton of videos but none explained like that many thanks

Great tutorial man! Clear and straight to the point! Thanks for helping us out :D

You earn my sub

thank you best tutorial i have

Awsome sir!

Nice tutorial and very helpful. Question: What would be the best to manage lets 100 interactable objects?

I'd love to see a tutorial using this system on a typical walking simulator mechanic: a paper that you can click on and then have it pop up on the screen so the player can read it

How would I make a bool Toggleable in this? Like say if I want an object to toggle between two materials every time I click on it?

How would u write the code if i want to select the game object and rotate it then deselect it and it goes back to place

Hi, how would I make this work in 2d? What do I put the Interactor script on?

After adding the first interactor script to my camera to test it, my game just no longer starts unless i remove the script. Edit: I fixed it, i'm not sure why it didnt work exactly but i edited the code to basically say the same thing but in a different way. void Update() { var ray = new Ray(this.transform.position, this.transform.forward); RaycastHit hit; if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 50, interactableLayermask)) { Debug.Log(hit.collider.name); }

damn this good

Hi, is there any way you can make this project downloadable at all? At times you cover things without actually explaining how it is set up, for example the door frame already having an animator, having different animation states such as Opened and Closed, and also the sprites setup. I managed to get the sprites setup working but animation is something I struggle with and either a clearer breakdown of how this was all set up or access to the project folder would really be helpful.

How is the animator controller setup, can someone please tell

Thanks got it sort of working but am left with the animation as certain stuff is not explained and missing which makes this tutorial frustrating. Text size to resolution is just too low; have to go to full screen to read the text. Code is shown for a really short time and sped up a lot. Somewhere we had to write code and delete it one moment later without any reason why we wrote it in the first place (I dont mean the unity events or the logs). "Just simply put in the animator we made", which animator we made? Nowhere to be found, let alone the sprites which are also referenced to as that 'we' made it earlier in the tutorial, which we didn't... I think I am missing some sort of other part that goes beforehand. Sorry for my rant, not a personal attack as I do appreciate that you took the time to explain this! For anyone else to keep them from getting frustrated; here is the code. Forgot to mention anyone else reading; you have to make a Canvas and create a new object called 'image' in order to add the image in Interactable (also missed out on explaining that).

Can you make tutorial like this but in blueprints Bolt,something like this

For future tutorial videos it would be hugely apreciate if u show not only the code but also the setup of the scene. I got lost a lot when I had to asign images and sprites to the project.

Why don't i have Canvas, EventSystem, InteractIcon in the Hierarchy? And why am i getting "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Interactor.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Interactor.cs:58)" i have MainCamera Tag on my main camera and i have no errors in the scripts but still im getting this when a run the game.

Cool friend. Your channel is excellent. I am still a beginner. Is this system suitable for mobiles?

For the Game Jam can we modify some of the code or does it have to be the same as the tutorial

how to open door with a key if you have key

How do I do it with tmp text? Instead of images I want to add text.

Tried to follow the code but it does not help me when it reaches the LayerMasks. I copied the code front and back but it does not do anything for me

Great tutorial, however it does not work in my scene. I saw that you have set up a canvas which includes the eventsystem in it...should we all have a canvas in our scene for the script to work?

I made a button with the Interactable script to open a hidden door on the wall When I press this button, the parameter bool "open" toggles to true and the animation plays, but it doesn't actually play. The animator window says that the animation is playing when "open" is true, but in game, none of that is happening. I have no idea what is happening

Nice, btw , can you make a interact with outline?

Can you please explain how you hid the blue sphere? If I turn off mesh render, then the blue sphere doesnt appear after the green sphere has been interacted.

I love this script and think it works very well, however I've noticed an issue. You can interact with objects through walls, is there any way to fix that?

Hi, I'm back again. How can I call a specific Unity Event using the interaction system?

Is there a way to use this system to transition the player between scenes?

how can I add a cursor in my scene? As soon as you start the program, you can already see the cursor, how can I add one into my scene?

Thanks for the tutorial, looks great. I tried it with the Unity Starter Assets First Person Controller and it does not work. I tried the interactor script on the Main Camera, the PlayerFollowCamera and the Player Camera Root. Did not help. Guess the problem is here: if(Physics.Raycast(this.transform.position,this.transform.forward,out hit, 2, interactableLayermask)) { Debug.Log(hit.collider.name); } Can anyone help?

Nice video but can you give us the interaction hand?

Can I have a link to get the code from

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Interaction.Update () (at Assets/scripts/Interaction.cs:18) if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position,Camera.main.transform.forward, out hit,2,Interaction)) how to repair this?

Nice Tutorial. Im having some issues related to the project structure and how to assign the interact icon. Any chance for a link to the code?

Can you make examine object tutorial?

Every time I start the game, the animation immediately loops to open and closed without any interaction. Ive got no idea how to fix it

Can we get the script it is to small to see

I have a problem when I open the door, it gets opened and closes automatically

you type so fast i can follow

can I use this for Mobile Phone?

i want to interacted object for android like granny games

I'm so confused what the f is a raycast and layermasks?!?!

ur not explaining its hard to follow

Functioned great until I tried using the Interectable script in multiple objects. It just broke. I can only interact with 1 object that uses the script, the other ones just stop working. @JTAGames, what can I do?

InteractIcon & iconSize are bugged, for the interacticon I get this --> 'Interactable' does not contain a definition for 'InteractIcon' and no accessible extension method 'InteractIcon' accepting a first argument of type 'Interactable' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I have a Canvas and an InteractIcon in my hierarchie. Here is the piece of code. if (interactable.InteractIcon != null) { interactImage.sprite = interactable.InteractIcon; if (interactable.iconSize == Vector2.zero) { interactImage.rectTransform.sizeDelta = defaultInteractIconSize; } else { interactImage.rectTransform.sizeDelta = interactable.iconSize; } }

I'm getting an error whenever I get within the range to interact with the object, I'm not even interacting with the object just getting close to it. InvalidOperationException: You are trying to read Input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched active Input handling to Input System package in Player Settings.
