Draggable (for physics objects)

Drag a physics object with the mouse (or touch).

Authors and contributors to this community extension: VictrisGames.

Enables players to click and drag on physics objects to move them. The object retains velocity when the click is released, allowing players to fling objects across the screen.

Note:

The default "draggable" behavior will not work on objects with the physics behavior. This extension should be used instead.
This extension will only work on objects that have the physics behavior.
Kinematic physics mode is incompatible with this extension. The object will be changed to dynamic mode.

The Parking Jam example uses this extension (open the project online).

Frequency
Change the joint frequency (per second) of the object.

Maximum force
Change the maximum joint force (in Newtons) of the object.

Mouse button
Change the mouse button used to move the object.

Start dragging object

Behavior conditions

Damping ratio
Compare the joint damping ratio (range: 0 to 1) of the object. .

Frequency
Compare the joint frequency (per second) of the object.

Automatic dragging
Check if automatic dragging is enabled.

Is being dragged
Check if object is being dragged.

Maximum force
Compare the maximum joint force (in Newtons) of the object.

Mouse button
Compare the mouse button used to move the object.
