    The title is kinda confusing but I have this code that is on the main camera that shoots a raycast and if I hit the object I want to put the object on the empty but I don`t know how to reference the object that I hit or how to make so it only hits objects that are on a certain layer upload_2022-1-17_12-31-1.png
    I have tryed to use GetComponent<Rigidbody>() but it doesn`t work upload_2022-1-17_12-34-37.png
    the blue dot is the empty / theDest

    Please use code-tags when posting code, you don't need to be posting images of code, it always makes it impossible to refer to specific lines of code etc.

    If I'm following what you're asking, it looks like you've not read the documentation for Raycast because you're not looking at the result it provides you (hit) which is a RaycastHit. The API doc also shows you how to select which layers etc.

    Don't forget to start by typing your question into Google. This is all extremely well-covered ground.
