MS Move Objects

About MS Move Objects – Unity Editor Tool & Plugin

Unity Physics Object Interaction System

MS Move Objects is a physics interaction tool designed for first-person characters to manipulate environmental objects using mouse input. The asset provides a physics object interaction system that allows players to pick up, rotate, carry, and launch objects within a scene.

Movement Modes and Physics Integration

The system adapts to different gameplay requirements by supporting multiple movement handling methods and joint configurations:

• Motion Types: Developers can choose between AddForce, Velocity, or Position modes depending on the desired physical response and project architecture.
• Physics Joint Compatibility: Functions alongside standard physics components including HingeJoint, CharacterJoint, and ConfigurableJoint.
• Object Detection Filters: Objects eligible for interaction can be filtered and identified by tag, name, or PhysicsMaterial.

Configuration and Visual Feedback

The script provides configurable settings for translation speed, rotation speed, hold distance, and launch force. All inspector variables include built-in tooltips that display contextual explanations on mouse hover. For visual interaction feedback, an integrated texture system displays one texture when an interactable object is targeted and switches to a secondary texture while the object is actively being moved, aiding player aiming when the cursor is hidden.

Use Cases

• Suitable for first-person puzzle games that require players to lift, carry, and place physics objects onto switches or pressure plates.
• Relevant to horror or exploration titles featuring environmental physics interaction such as inspecting props, rotating clues, or unblocking doorways.
• Useful for action mechanics involving throwing or launching physics-driven debris and items at targets.

FAQ

How does the system indicate when an object can be grabbed?

An integrated texture system displays an indicator texture when an object is eligible to be moved and shifts to another texture while the object is actively held, providing visual feedback when the mouse cursor is invisible.

Is an example setup provided to test the mechanics?

Yes, the package includes a pre-configured example scene demonstrating the setup, detection settings, and movement modes.
