var SpawnTo : Transform; //your hand for example, attack an object to your character that you want the position of what you picked up to go to
var Object1 : Transform; //what your picking up, the object that you want to move
var dist = 5; //distance at which you can pick things up
private var isHolding = false;


function Update () {
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q)){ //if you press 'q'
        if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, Object1.position) < dist) //if distance is less than dist variable
        {
            isHolding = !isHolding; //changes isHolding var from false to true 
            }
            }

    if(isHolding == true){
        Object1.rigidbody.useGravity = false; //sets gravity to not on so it doesn't just fall to the ground

        Object1.parent = SpawnTo; //parents the object

        Object1.transform.position = SpawnTo.transform.position; //sets position

        Object1.transform.rotation = SpawnTo.transform.rotation; //sets rotation
        }
        else{ //if isHolding isn't true
            SpawnTo.transform.DetachChildren(); //detach child (object) from hand
            Object1.rigidbody.useGravity = true; //add the gravity back on
        }
}

hope that works, I made this script for a previous question, just set the variable 'dist' to 4 like in your script

scribe

Looks like your doing the right thing so far. But instead use Vector3.Distance(transform.position, theOtherObject.transform.position) instead of just distance. Because that will not do anything, you never assigned it as a variable. I will make a script for you sometime later in the day.

Thanks guys,

I will give that a go and see how I get on.
