Move object by snapping it to the mouse cursor

Hi guys,

So basically I'm making home decor app and I need "sims-like" objects movement. I just need to snap an active object to the mouse and move it along X and Y axis untill I hit escape key. I've been searching for script like this for weeks....

Thank you!

"I've been searching for script like this for weeks...."

And you might be searching for a good while - no one makes tailor made scripts for your use... so better figure it out yourself.

Try converting your screen position to a Plane position, or raycast to some floor object to get a world position.

 

Not sure what you've been searching for... here's after 5 seconds of looking:

This may not be exactly what you're looking for but it may get you part of the way.

 

I know unfortunately, but I'm not a programmer (I'm more into 3d modelling) and I just need basic app to show my models

Well - I'm pretty much in the same boat - but if you don't want to start learning how to code (like in 2 weeks you could have learned some basics of C# and Unity specific things), maybe get someone to do the coding for you or see if Asset Store has some asset you could use.

If you need basic viewer - why not use Marmoset or Sketchfab?
