How to Pick Up + Hold Objects in Unity (FPS) 

hey I'm a beginner can. I watched the vid but I'm still confused on how to properly reference a script with in another? Can you tell me what code you put?

@@itsjustangel4544 I will try my best to remember what I did to the best of my ability. This won't be something you will be able to simply copy & paste: 1. first, in your FPS/Player controller script, you want to make the variables that control the mouse sensitivity is public, e.g. public float lookSpeedX = 2.0f; public float lookSpeedY = 2.0f; 2. Second, make whatever function that moves your camera is also Public, e.g. public void HandleMouseLook() 3. From here on we will make our way back to our PickUPScript, and similar to what the end of this video demonstrates, you want to declare the FPS controller script at the bottom of the section of the PickUpScript where you have declared your other public/private floats and bool variables. This is just telling the system that another script is going to be referenced. Simply call the script you want to reference and assign it a name. e.g. FPSController mouseLookScript; "FPSController" is the script I am referencing, and mouseLookScript is the name I have given it to declare it. 4. Now go to Void Start(), use the named variable we are going to use to reference the FPS controller, e.g. void Start() { LayerNumber = LayerMask.NameToLayer("holdLayer"); mouseLookScript = player.GetComponent(); } The variable we gave a name to will now be able to call the FPSController script we are using for our intended purposes. The section of this line that uses the "" characters is annotating what script we are referencing when called. 5. Now go below into our Void RotateObject() function, and inside the IF statement that calls for our rotate object input, use the reference variable we created to call the variables we made public earlier that controls the mouse sensitivity, e.g. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse2)) { canDrop = false; //disable player being able to look around mouseLookScript.lookSpeedX = 0f; mouseLookScript.lookSpeedY = 0f; Here we are calling the variable we created to reference the fpsController script, and we are calling the variable from our fpsController that controls our camera sensitivity. the reason why we are setting both lines to 0 is because this is where we are freezing the camera when we press our desired input (I set mine to Mouse2/middle mouse button). 6. Now we go below to our else command where our "canDrop" command is and type the same lines we just used above, e.g. else { //re-enable player being able to look around mouseLookScript.lookSpeedX = 2.0f; mouseLookScript.lookSpeedY = 2.0f; canDrop = true; } Just make sure to type the default camera sensitivity value is the same as the fpsController script we are referencing, which will re-enable the camera to move. That is all I can remember off the top of my head, hope this helps. I'm sure there is a better way of doing this, but I'm still an amateur. The Fps controller I am using is based on code created by Comp-3 Interactive.

What code did you use?

Thanks!

Hey thanks for the nice comment. The layer gets rendered above everything, and since we only assign the object to that layer when we are holding it, the object doesn't appear through walls when it is on the ground.

@@jondevtutorials4787 Thanks for letting me know :)

same problem, did you fix it

yeah no problem :) Appreciate it

Remove the mesh collider

Post process effects act on layers, you should have the option to select/add layers in the inspector for the post processing effect. As for the fact that it clips through the map, I think there is a StopClipping() func. that you may want to look at which tries to stop the the object from being placed through colliders. It's at the very bottom of the code, try editing the last few lines to your spec.

@@jondevtutorials4787 Thanks!

Have you moved around, picking up an object with this code near a wall makes it clip into the wall, if you still don’t see it, it might be the layers

same broooo, how is it now??

Are you using URP perhaps? If not that can you tell me what version of unity you are running?

@@jondevtutorials4787 yes I was using it and I turned it off and now I have them. But there is another issue with the code. When I pick up a cube for example and look around the cube changes its scale. Why is this happening?

@@jondevtutorials4787 I'm facing a weird issue sometimes when I throw an object, it doesn't always gets thrown forward. sometimes towards the player itself.

@@HiHoSHOW perhaps the player is blocking, try changing the point where it is being thrown from. Else check how direction is being calculated in the addforce method, perhaps you are using worldspace not local space.

@@jondevtutorials4787 i use urp, 2022.3. and i didnt have those two. and now my object is invisible when i picked it up.., any solution??

box collider

assign rigidbody and box collider

same :C

me too!
