Make an object draggable

jeanini

Hi,

In my template project, I have an object called "Inspect." It displays static information (graphics and text with associated hotspots) in a popup-style view. This object appears when interacting with a hotspot.
I would like to know if it is possible to make this object draggable so it can be repositioned within the view.

Is this part of a Menu? If it uses Unity UI, a short custom script should make it draggable.

Any screenshots you can share will help provide context.

What is your Drag Drop component? A custom script?

If you move this to a UI Canvas, you can make use of Unity's IDragHandler interface to drag it around with mouse input:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

[RequireComponent(typeof(UnityEngine.UI.Image))]
public class DraggableRect : MonoBehaviour, IDragHandler
{
    private RectTransform rectTransform;

    void Awake()
    {
        rectTransform = GetComponent<RectTransform>();
    }

    public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle
        (
            rectTransform.parent as RectTransform,
            eventData.position,
            eventData.pressEventCamera,
            out Vector2 localPoint
        );

        rectTransform.localPosition = localPoint;
    }
}
