How to make a gameObject 'Carry' another?
Hello, possible saviour!
My game is a top down shooter. So, in my game enemies try to steal things from you by picking them up. Once they pick them up, I want them to be visibly carrying them. Example : 
Mario is always holding up the shell in the same position relative to him no matter what the rotation or position is.
The thing is that I can't get it to work! I've tried some things but they dont work. I want the pick up to work just like the shell mario is picking up.
Using mario as a scenario, I can't get the shell to pop from one location to mario's hands.
-------This script is attached to the enemy character.------
transform.Translate (new Vector3(0,0,speed * Time.deltaTime)); //Makes enemy move
//The code below does not work;
objectBeingCarried.transform.Translate(transform.position.x * Time.deltaTime,
transform.position.y * Time.deltaTime,
speed * Time.deltaTime);
So the question is: How can I make an object appear in another's 'hands' and stay there relative to where its hands are? Should I use parenting to achieve this?
Maybe you could put the object you want to carry inside the "hand object" so it always keeps its position relative to one hand, you could also do a script that each frame updates the relative position to the hand, something like:
public Transform handtransform = (hand transform);
private vector3 relativeposition = new vector3(relative position you want to set);
void Update() {
this.transform.position = handtransform.position +relativeposition;
}
edit: I forgor to mention, to put the game object inside another via script (if you use the first solution i mentioned) you can do it using gameObject.transform.parent = handtransform;
