Pick up and drop

[void folio]

Soo I've been trying to do it for like 10 hours now, does anyone have a script for a single item pick up, carry and drop (seen by other players) that I could use as my base? Preferably upgradeable because I probably will change it a lot. 🙏

See PickupsDropsChilds example that's included with Mirror. Does exactly that.

I tried it and I don't understand it and can't make it work

[regal bolt]

I don't really have a drop item setup yet but for pickup and storing I simply have two scripts, ItemPickup and PlayerInventory

I simply use rayCast to get the Collectable Object and then destroy it on network after I add it to the SyncList in my PlayerInventory (You can use SyncDictionary).

And for the drop I guess just remove it from the PlayersInventory and Spawn it using NetworkServer.Spawn()

Make sure you mark your prefab as registered prefab

could you tell me like step-by-step how to set it up? Ik theres a site for it but its complicated and i dont really undersetand it

[stable quiver]

PickupsDropsChilds example is pretty simple, really. There's not that much code and it's heavily commented. Press 1/2/3 to show one of the objects in hand, press X to drop, click the dropped thing to pick it up again.

[void folio]

how do i change like the 1 2 3 inventory into a single item pick up and hold?

[void folio]

i dont know which scripts go where kinda

also in the network manager should i add anything tot he spawnable prefabs?

[stable quiver]

Just like the example, you need a prefab for the scene object for drops.

If you don't need to keep track of anything like ammo or similar for the dropped thing, you can just make an art prefab to show locally in hand, and a variant prefab for the dropped object that has a network identity on it.

[void folio]

so i teated the example, and it kind of works but doesnt, i cant pick up items but when i press 1, 2 or 3 they are always here and i can throw 2nd item away, press 2 and its here again and i can create infinite copies like this

[stable quiver]

click the items on ground to pick up

[void folio]

i can pick up some items only

and i can still spawn infinite ammount of them

[stable quiver]

sure, that's just how the example is made - you don't have to have that part

[void folio]

oh alr

but still the pick up is very broken

should it be that way?

like i have to spam click to sometimes pick an item up but only like 1/4th of the items is pickable

[stable quiver]

It's really not - I can pickup every single item dropped

[void folio]

do you know what might cause this issue?

[stable quiver]

no idea. What version of Unity?

[void folio]

i put the script onto my player and setup everything like on the prefab and everything else i took from the prefabs

2022.3.60f1

unity version ^^

[stable quiver]

It's just this

void OnMouseDown()
{
    NetworkClient.localPlayer.GetComponent<PickupsDropsChilds>().CmdPickupItem(gameObject);
}

maybe you have something else blocking the clicks?

[void folio]

what could it be

empty game object counts?

[stable quiver]

probably not, but UI maybe

I know for sure the example works perfectly

[void folio]

i dont have any ui

maybe the player itself but shouldnt, right?

[stable quiver]

obviously the scene object needs a collider of appropriate size

[void folio]

the capsule which the player has as a child

[void folio]

what do you mean by that?

i just copied it from the prefabs into the network manager as a spawnable prefab

can i raise the pick up range somewhere?

[stable quiver]

In the example the child art has a collider on it...that's required

[void folio]

i copied everything from the example so shouldnt it work?

im not really familiar with the english names, could you quickly explain what "child art" is? You seem to use it a lot and i have no idea what it is

can only assume its the child of a player

[stable quiver]

In the example, Ball, Bat, Box are art objects. They're instantiated as child art of the hand when held or as child of Scene Object prefab when spawned

Scene Object has a Rigidbody, and Ball, Bat, Box each have a correct collider

[void folio]

so prefab?

[void folio]

yeah i have them

wait

sceneobject has rigidbody?

[stable quiver]

yes, you can see that

[void folio]

nvm it does

i can pick up the items only when im walking on them and are lucky

but i managed to pick up every item

so every item is pickable but something is blocking

couldnt be the body of a player, right?

maybe its a low pick up range

[stable quiver]

collider is art prefab scaled too small?

[void folio]

not pick up range becasue i made my player really tiny and he still struggles

[stable quiver]

this is basic debugging, really - examine everything in the editor for correct scale

[void folio]

i think so

i made every collider twice as big as it should be and it worked perfectly

but doesnt work with the correct collider size

i set the collider size to 1.1 instead of 1 and no problem at all

should i just keep it that way?

all right its all bugged

i raised my player height back to normal and cant pick it up again

even with big colliders

it has to have big colliders and my player has to be short for it to work on my project

no idea what is happening

i guess something is wrong with my player

capsule has a hitbox and everything else is empty gameobjects

player has rigidbody
