Question how do i drag an object that interacts with other objects?

hello! im making a little game to learn unity and i want the player to be able to move the platforms with the mouse cursor, i have a basic script for this and it works pretty well but, the way the script is made, it makes the platform to just go through the floor wich i dont want, i want the platform to be able to be dragged by the cursor but with the detail that it cant go through another platforms or things like the floor or the walls

how can i do this?

 

I think the best way to do this would be to use a kinematic rigid body. Just add a rigid body to your platform, turn off gravity on the rigid body, turn on kinematic on the rigid body, and make sure a nice fitting collider is on the platform as well. And obviously, you need colliders on anything that the platform should not go through.

After adding a rigid body you might have to play around with how you move the platform in script a bit. (but maybe not it depends on how you have it set up already)

 

what is the "drag layers" variable? what things i have to check in that?

 

the code isnt working, the target joint is created but the platform isnt moving, what do i need to make it work?

 

can i download the game project?, im gonna see if i can take reference form there

 

ok, after watching your project i manage to make it work, but, random question, is there a way that the platform stays still when im not dragging it? like, a way that you could drag the platform and all but the platform itself doesnt rotate or moves when your not dragging it, is that possible?

 

ok ive tried a couple of things and it works!

the dragtarget script does something to the collider? im testing the game and the player just phases thru the platform when not clicked

 

alright im gonna try some things
