Title: Grabing an object with mouse and moving [SOLVED]
Post by: roach_779 on March 10, 2013, 09:58:52 PM

I want to grab an object with a mouse and be able to drag around the screen. What actions should I be using?

You can use a mouse pick and store as a vector 3. Then have the object follow that vector 3.

Is it a gui type drag or a drag through the scene?

Thanks for the reply.
Drag through scene.
So, I tried using translate, but rather than moving slowly, it pops into position.

Use Move Towards, Translate will make a change from A to B in the object coordinates, whereas Move Towards will compute a direct line from A to B and follow it. You'll notice the difference in options.
