Moving game objects with a mouse

[odd garnet]

I tried and tried again but can't seem to make it work - the raycast does detect the gameobject, and the code detects the mouse button being pressed as well. Shouldn't it technically be working? I'm so confused.

void Update()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        LayerMask mask = LayerMask.GetMask("PhysicalObject");
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, Mathf.Infinity, mask) && Input.GetMouseButton(0))
        {
            hit.transform.position = new Vector3(cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).x, 1, cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).y);
            Debug.Log("hit");
        }
    }```

Which part does not work

Didn't you say you already suspect the problem because you are losing raycast when moving?

Test that

Also instead of inventing your own drag and drop thing you can use already existing Selectable interface which has all of the events. https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Selectable.html

it doesnt move at all though

You still might have to lock up OnDrag event untill released

So test why
