Resolved Drag on one local axis Quest 2

Hello.

I am trying to drag an object and have it move on only one of its own axes. However, when the objects are rotated it only moves on the world axis. I have tried to use inverdirection, transform direction, point and rigid body constraints and nothing seems to work. Right now I log the initial position in a variable and then apply that position to the axes I want locked and set the desired axis to pull be its own axis value. Does anyone have this problem and a possible solution?

thank you.

 

Got it sorted. Here's the code in case anyone else has this issue:

Code (CSharp):

1. //find where objA is currently and where it was originally
2. offsetFromStart = objA.position - objA.lastPos;
3.             //project the direction onto the desired vector.
4.             projectedVector = Vector3.Project(offsetFromStart, orientation.transform.forward);
5.             //move along that vector
6.             desiredPos = Vector3.Lerp(thisObjLastPos, thisObjLastPos + projectedVector, precision);
7.             transform.position = desiredPos;

ObjA being the object I am dragging. Logging where it is when I initially grab it "objA.lastPos". thisObjLastPos being where the object that I want to actually move was before I grabbed objA. Hope this helps if anyone has this issue!
