moving objects in like in amnesia

Alright I guess you're new to scripting, You have a couple basic mistake such as: Your action aren't in the function brackets. It should be:

 function Update()
 {
 //action
 }

Your if statement isn't correct either, you should have

 if(//condition is true)
 {
 // do an action
 }

Basic code to do what your want:

 var hitObject : GameObject;
 
 function Update()
 {
 
 if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))  
 {
 
 var hit : RaycastHit;
 
 // Cast a ray
 
 if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), hit))
 {
 hitObject = hit.collider.gameObject;
 hitObject.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
 }
 }
 }
 
 if(Input.GetButtonDown("Release")) // This will release the object 
 {
 hitObject.transform.parent = null;
 hitObject = null;
 }

so i'm thinking something like this(it doesn't work yet) i atleast know i still need to add the mouse button and some other stuff but as far is i know something about scripting i guess this is the base of the it so what could i do to let it work??

function Update () { }

if var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);

if (Physics.Raycast (ray, 100)) { print ("Hit something");

// make it a child of the current object cameraTransform.parent = transform;

else // Detaches the transform from its parent. transform.parent = null;} }

probably full of mistakes but i'm new and like many people i try to learn it bit by bit.

i realy had no idea where to start but i came to this:

 var hitObject : GameObject;
 
 function Update()
 {
 
 if
 // By tag
     var player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Pick");
     player.GetComponent(OtherScript).DoSomething();
 }
 
 if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))  
 {
 
 var hit : RaycastHit;
 
 // Cast a ray
 
 if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), hit))
 {
 hitObject = hit.collider.gameObject;
 hitObject.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
 }
 }
 }
 
 if(Input.GetButtonDown("mouse 1")) // This will release the object 
 {
 hitObject.transform.parent = null;
 hitObject = null;
 }

i get a few error's and i know it is probably placed wrong. so how do i adjust it right to the stuff i want? also with yours i got the error when i put mouse as the release button is still had to place something there.

Hmm, you still make a couple of basic mistakes, an if statement has to go in '()'. For example :

 if(condition is true)
 {
 do something;
 }

This is the full code to do what you want:

 var hitObject : GameObject;
 
 function Update()
 {
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))  
     {
     
     var hit : RaycastHit;
     
     // Cast a ray
     
     if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), hit))
     {
     
     if(hitObject.collider.tag == "Pick")
     {
     
     hitObject = hit.collider.gameObject;
     hitObject.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
     }
     }
     }
     }
     
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)&& hitObject != null) // This will release the object 
     {
     hitObject.transform.parent = null;
     hitObject = null;
     }
     }

I wanted to do something similar, but FAIR WARNING, Even if you get this script working, It won't act like amnesia. Unity STILL has issues getting objects to obey scripts and physics at the same time. Either you will have a rigidbody on the object, which will cause it to fall unless you are actively moving it upwards, or you will have gravity off, which will cause it to fly into space when the object touches the ground, or you will not have a rigidbody, and the object will not obey normal physics, but will be a slave to the script, allowing it to pass through the floor and such. If you really want, I could upload the script I used, but IDK a workaround for the issues involved.
