Making a simple dragging system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello developers

I want to make a simple dragging system similar to this one.

But this would be for a cooking game

This is what i did (I made this using the devhub roblox tutorial which isn’t the best method)

also, i want to make that the object get in the air like the first video that i shown

I want to see which is the best method for this, and i think that it should be with Raycasting because the collisions are bad, the objects can overlap other objects and pass them.

Thank you!!

I would start off by locking the mouse in the center then having a variable with the mouse delta that way you can control the speed of the movements and for the stamp hovering I would just give it a set height above the desk

I don’t want to center the mouse for this, and i can’t set the height with Position or CFrame in my current script.

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

if game.Loaded then
	
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	Camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.CamaraMostrador.CFrame
	
end



local Point
local Clicking

local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.1)

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if Mouse.Target and not Mouse.Target.Locked and Mouse.Target:IsA("BasePart") and Mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("Value") then
		
		Point = Mouse.Target
		Mouse.TargetFilter = Point
		Clicking = true
		
	end
end)

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	if Clicking and Point then
		
		local PosX,PosY,PosZ = Mouse.Hit.X,Mouse.Hit.Y,Mouse.Hit.Z
		
		local Goal = {Position = Vector3.new(PosX,PosY,PosZ)}
		
		local TSanim = TS:Create(Point,Info,Goal):Play()
		
		--Point.Position = Vector3.new(PosX,PosY,PosZ)
	end
end)

Mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	Clicking = false
	Point = nil
	Mouse.TargetFilter = nil
	
end)

You could replace the hit.y with a set height or add an extra 2 studs to the y

Like this?

Try this:

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

--//Variables
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local CurrentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

--//Controls
local Point = nil
local Clicking = false
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.1)

--//Initialization
if game.Loaded then
	CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	CurrentCamera.CFrame = workspace.CamaraMostrador.CFrame
end

--//Functions
Mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	Clicking = false
	Point = nil
	Mouse.TargetFilter = nil
end)

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if Mouse.Target and not Mouse.Target.Locked and Mouse.Target:IsA("BasePart") and Mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("Value") then
		Point = Mouse.Target
		Mouse.TargetFilter = Point
		Clicking = true
	end
end)

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	if Clicking and Point then
		local TweenAnimation = TweenService:Create(Point, tweenInfo, {Position = Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0, Point.Size.Y * 2, 0)})
		TweenAnimation:Play()

		--[[
		Point.Position = Vector3.new(PosX,PosY,PosZ)
		]]
	end
end)

Sorry for late answer, i can’t do that because the part’s position updates every time to where the mouse is, meaning that it will not fly like i want

#8

Actually, that’s really cool !! but i don’t want to make the stamp system, this would be for a cooking system to drop the ingredients, also i don’t know if you are using mouse for that or keyboard, because i want to do it with the mouse

Oops, edited it, try my new script.

Oh tysm!! this helped me a lot

now i need to make the part fall to the place that it needs, the thing is that i don’t know how to use raycast to tween the position in the correct place that it needs to be…

i’ll probably make another topic for that.

Thank you so much!
