Super effective and flexible way to make interaction systems instead of having a lot of different scripts with different rays sending out to different things. Thanks for the tutorial :)

Really nice tutorial! straight to the point, i would love more tutorials about Horror Games <3

[khurum]

this is so easy I watched a ton of videos but none explained like that many thanks

[BigToeDev]

I'd love to see a tutorial using this system on a typical walking simulator mechanic: a paper that you can click on and then have it pop up on the screen so the player can read it

Nice tutorial and very helpful. Question: What would be the best to manage lets 100 interactable objects?

After adding the first interactor script to my camera to test it, my game just no longer starts unless i remove the script.

Edit: I fixed it, i'm not sure why it didnt work exactly but i edited the code to basically say the same thing but in a different way.

void Update()
{
var ray = new Ray(this.transform.position, this.transform.forward);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 50, interactableLayermask))
{


}

Hi, I'm back again. How can I call a specific Unity Event using the interaction system?

[worldcup-o]

how to open door with a key if you have key

[mostafamo]

How would u write the code if i want to select the game object and rotate it then deselect it and it goes back to place

[evangelia]

Great tutorial, however it does not work in my scene. I saw that you have set up a canvas which includes the eventsystem in it...should we all have a canvas in our scene for the script to work?

[v-rdays]

Can you make tutorial like this but in blueprints Bolt, something like this

[mitnick]

I love this script and think it works very well, however I've noticed an issue. You can interact with objects through walls, is there any way to fix that?

[hersonmarco]

I made a button with the Interactable script to open a hidden door on the wall
When I press this button, the parameter bool "open" toggles to true and the animation plays, but it doesn't actually play. The animator window says that the animation is playing when "open" is true, but in game, none of that is happening.
I have no idea what is happening

For the Game Jam can we modify some of the code or does it have to be the same as the tutorial

[darkdoom]

How is the animator controller setup, can someone please tell

[marvicaaronlequin]

Tried to follow the code but it does not help me when it reaches the LayerMasks. I copied the code front and back but it does not do anything for me

[darkdoom]

I have a problem when I open the door, it gets opened and closes automatically

[turtleproductions]

Can we get the script it is to small to see

[voidzx]

I'm so confused what the f is a raycast and layermasks?!?!
