I haven't seen anyone mention it but just as a small note in the trace, you can get the forward vector of the camera instead of getting rotation and then getting the forward vector from that, just to make things a little more simple.

Great tutorial overall!

Another tutorial I can add to my 85 tabs in Opera GX until I will finally watch them all

For people having the issue, that the grabbed object goes through walls: Enable CCD (Continuous Collision Detection). Best to only enable it on the grabbed component. So basically between the line trace and the "Grab Component" Node. Just drag the "Hit Component" out and enable CCD.

When releasing, just before you call the release Node, get the physics handle -> "Get Grabbed Component" and disable CCD again. With that it works really good.

I never knew this function even existed, thanks for the tip! Btw, if you don't want to have to hold the key down to keep holding the object after you've grabbed it, instead of doing the branch after releasing the E key, just add a branch after pressing the E key and if isGrabbingObject is true, have the physics handle release the component and if isGrabbingObject is false run the line trace and everything.

[losotech]

Dude, this is great! Straight to the point. Thank you.

[joshdavies]

Good video, worked first try. Well explained, short and sweet.

This is exactly what I am looking for but how do you make the object you pick up just swing from the point that you grab it from? I'm puttzing with simplified game controls where only a mouse and it's button combos are used so it can be easy to use in a browser.

would this need to be made as a component for multiplayer/casting to server?

[mrreal]

when i pick up somthing and walk around the cube goes though anything it hits instead of stoping how cam i fix this

[StarstriketheVigil]

Do you have a way to do it with enhanced action inputs? I want to the player to be able to rebind the key later.

[bartoudemoleman]

Hey, what a great video!
I was just wondering if you could also save the location of cubes moved?
as in a save system. i can get it to save the location of the player though.

[schmoozee]

For anyone who have the problem with dissapearing cubes. 1:27 he says "Add". I multiplied it by mistake. Remember to change it both in the grab and the event tree. Great video btw 😄

[Foxert-Presentations]

Amazing! This worked on Ue4 too! The engine i use, thank you!

[Wiizl]

Nice, everything works out of the box. Is there a way to make the line trace "fatter"? You have to be really precise with your aim if you want to pick up small objects...

[Urkoth]

Amazing, did it with Third person character, and it works with enemy ragdolls too! GG!

[justalittletoserious]

I've done this starting from the third person default project and making it a first person one by moving the camera.
If i jump on the object and then i move it I can fly around by moving the object surfing on it, please help.

[dariotomaselli]

i have a question, how i can stop the cube? i mean i can throw it away and he fly away so far, how i can freeze constraints?

[gdfliz]

Does this work in VR? And if so, is there a way to make it hand oriented, like rotation and distance?

[grjmr]

Please help me out, I would like to make a foldable objects. Like foladable boxes that charater can interact on.
