Thanks a lot, I was trying to create a Grab / Throw system and this helped a lot!

[starchaser]

Exactly what I needed, thanks!!! For those who want to use this in 3D here's my slightly modified code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MovingPlatform : MonoBehaviour
{
public bool isOnMovingPlatform = false;
public GameObject MyPlayer;

void Update()
{
if (isOnMovingPlatform)
{

}
else
{
null);
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)

{
if

{
isOnMovingPlatform = true;
}

}
void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
if
{
isOnMovingPlatform = false;
}

}

}

please please tell me in unity 3d how can i make camera to be a child of the car when it go on a collider and when i drop from it it gets unparented please tell me sir i come this far for my game but now i am stuck on this problem

[merens]

Thankyou so much. It worked in my FPS game with some minor modifications. Just " OnCollisionEnter(Collision other) "

[ninolorenz]

With one Platform, it worked, but everytime i have two Platforms, my Player can stick on only one of them. And it is always the one I placed last. Do you know, how to fix this?

[Duros]

Would it be possible to set the "public gameObject" to instead use a list of all gameObjects that have a specific tag?

Im making a game where the player grad and drops gameObjects to/from other tabs (UI panels that can be closed/opened), and would love to be able to have multiple items (multiple types) that can all be drag+dropped in, then have them set to the parent "slot".

(I have the drag drop sorted, just need to set the parents, its why i clicked this vid to find out how xD. The script here is almost exactly what i need, but I'll back up my scripts and experiment :P lol)

[CDerek]

awesome, thank you for making this tutorial, I now can successfully make a inventory and seating system in my vr game.

[Ialsodowatchyoutube]

This is works nice. I just subscribed :D

[vladimirkraft]

Thank you! This video is very helpfull! 🙂👍

[LorenaTriffoni]

This is awesome, thank you very much!

[primoscarab]

For some reason this only works on one platform
It won't work on a duplicated platform

[mr_mcgilicuty]

I've tried doing this but it isn't working for me. I'm doing it the other way around though. when the player touches an object it makes the object the child of the player. But I never want it to let go, thats why i got rid of the OnCollisionExit();

This is my code:
public bool isOnMovingPlatform = false;

public GameObject MyPlayer;

void Update()
{
if (isOnMovingPlatform)
{

}
else
{
transform.SetParent(null);
}
}

private void other)
{
if
{
isOnMovingPlatform = true;

}
}


The weird part about it is that it all works. The object becomes the child of the player. but it doesn't stay with it. it just reacts normaly.

[OxisTech]

helped me to figure out how I could get the player to grab some 3d rope 😁

[mohsen]

nice way of explaining but please decrease background music level

[ABYZA]

bruh lol. you example are exectly the problem I was looking for a solution

[zoren]

Horrible Choice of Audio man. The backround music has this unbareble locust like sound, I advice to change that for future vids.
