Selecting and moving an individual object during gameplay..

Hey there, I'm somewhat of a beginner myself, but I think I can help. A simple way to this would be to use OnMouseUp: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseUp.html

Make a script and put in an OnMouseUp function. Have this function change a String (eg. SelectedObject). One that you keep in a separate script (I always make a script called GlobalVariables, which holds...global variables ^^). In your original script, make an if-statement that checks if the name of the GameObject it's attached to, is the same as the SelectedObject. Like so:

 function Update () {
 
     var speed = 5.0;
     var move : float = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
 
     if (this.name == GlobalVariables.SelectedObject) {
         transform.Translate(Vector3(0, 0, move) * Time.deltaTime * speed);
     }
     Debug.Log(move);
 }
 
 function OnMouseUp () {
     GlobalVariables.SelectedObject = this.name;
 }

Where "GlobalVariables" is your separate script and "SelectedObject" is the String.

Your GlobalVariables script would be as simple as something like this:

 static var SelectedObject : String;
 
 function Update () {
 }

Now you can just attach your script to as many GameObjects as you want. I hope that helps you out!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

That's brilliant mate, works perfectly.

Thanks again.
