24

I fixed it
all I had to do was move the point entity up a little

25

Great, good job!

26

How do I make it so I can put it down

27

oh and thank you

28

Reparent it again but to your Root entity this time.

29

so the same script but what root entity in what object

30

also dont I have to press a button to put it down

31

No not the same script, because you don’t need a collision check for this.

32

will it go in front of the player or back to its regular position
also I can pick it up again right

33

It wil stay on the position where you reparent it. You only can pick it up again if you set this.pickedUp to false again. I suggest to expand the script with an update function where you can do these things.

34

your gona have to write it out for me sorry

35

You have to try the things I suggest yourself first.

36

so in the update function

if(this.app.mouse.waspressed(pc.MOUSERIGHT){
this.app.entity.setpickedup == false

37

For the mouse button you don’t need the update function.

In the initialize function:

this.app.mouse.on(pc.EVENT_MOUSEDOWN, this.onMouseDown, this);

And add this function to the script:

Pickable.prototype.onMouseDown = function (event) {
    if (event.button === pc.MOUSEBUTTON_RIGHT) {  
        this.entity.reparent(this.app.root.findByName('Root'));
        this.pickedUp = false;
    }
};
38

ok thanks

39

I have fixed a mistake in the code above.

40

// initialize code called once per entity

Pickable.prototype.initialize = function () {

Would I put the first code in the brakets and then underneath put the second code?
