Add offset to dragging

[apple741]

Hello,

I am trying to add an offset to my drag using this code: http://pastebin.com/dV8iSdpj

The problem is that it doesn't seem to have any effect?

Thanks!

Dragging the object changes its position. If you want it to be offset, offset its child instead.

Hi Aren,

That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for! I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what you mean?

I just tried moving the texture to a separate game object as a child, where the parent game object was just be an empty collider but that didn’t seem to create an offset either - using the code shown previously.

Thanks!

You are probably overthinking it.

Game Object (dragged object)
- Child object (offset position)

The offset is just your transform position. Move it around.

Hi Aren,

If I have an empty game object with a collider on it and then a child offset with my actual UITexture people will end up clicking on the texture which has no collider rather than the parent with one?

All events go to colliders, not widgets. However since your collider is on a game object rather than a widget, its depth is undefined -- it will use the highest depth of its child widgets. It's best to use an invisible widget instead (ALT+SHIFT+W)
