EASILY pick up and throw objects! 2018

In this updated tutorial, I go over the issues that the last video on this subject had, and we create a brand new system perfect for any game that involves picking up game objects! I also teach how to create a throw system that is easily modified, as well as implementing collisions and distance vectors.

 

When making public tutorials it's a really good idea to avoid doing silly things like putting

GetComponent

in the Update method, especially when you already have a member reference to the object. Beginners see this type of thing and assume it's good/correct and develop really bad habits.

 

I honestly didn't even know this was a bad practice=P Thanks for the tip!

 

It's bad practice because you're literally getting something every frame and that is terrible, just cache it once at the start, and there you go.

 

I tried modifying this script to work in 2d - no luck. I was really hoping it would work because it had some concepts that I really liked and because I have a object I need to pick up and throw in my current project.
