Here is my pick up script for anyone like me who isn’t a fan of the whole run over something to pick it up.
I left it mostly blank so that it can be easily customized.
void Update()
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
{
//Place your item pickup info above the DestroyObject part.
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
Also you will have to add a distance modifier in order for the player to have to be near it.
I was wrong. It is a bit more complicated that I made it out to be. i will include all that is need below.
first place ItemInteraction on the item ( not the empty) and player PlayerInteraction on the player. Make sure everything you want to interact with has a collider on it. this works for doors, containers, items, ect.
first is the player interaction script.
private void Update()
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
{ float interactRange =2f;
Collider[] colliderArray = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, interactRange);
foreach(Collider collider in colliderArray)
{
if (collider.TryGetComponent(out ItemInteraction itemInteraction))
{
itemInteraction.Interact();
Debug.Log("Interact");
}
}
}
}
This is the itemInteraction script.
public void Interact()
{
Debug.Log("E to interact");
Destroy(gameObject);
}
