drag an object

I am trying to create a cube which can be dragged and rotated around a central pivot. Are there any scripts available that can be modified to do this?

 

ya try mouse orbit script

 

Interesting, I just barley answered another post about this same subject (http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=19515).

Here is a modified version of the script I used in that post so the object you are holding spins when you hold the Option button down.

Code (csharp):

1. #pragma strict
2. // Attach this script to an orthographic camera.
3. var spinSpeed = 60;
4.  
5. private var chicken : Transform;      // The chicken we will move.
6. private var offSet : Vector3;      // The chicken's position relative to the mouse position.
7.  
8. function Update () {
9.     var ray = camera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);      // Gets the mouse position in the form of a ray.
10.     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {      // If we click the mouse...
11.         var hit : RaycastHit;
12.         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, Mathf.Infinity)) {      // Then see if an chicken is beneath us using raycasting.
13.             chicken = hit.transform;      // If we hit an chicken then hold on to the chicken.
14.             offSet = chicken.position-ray.origin;      // This is so when you click on an chicken its center does not align with mouse position.
15.             if (chicken.rigidbody) {
16.                 chicken.rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
17.             }
18.         }
19.     }
20.     else if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) {
21.         if (chicken.rigidbody) {
22.             chicken.rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
23.         }
24.         chicken = null;      // Let go of the chicken.
25.     }
26.     if (chicken) {
27.         chicken.position = Vector3(ray.origin.x+offSet.x, chicken.position.y, ray.origin.z+offSet.z);      // Only move the chicken on a 2D plane.
28.         if (Input.GetButton("Fire2")) {
29.             chicken.Rotate(0, spinSpeed*Time.deltaTime, 0);
30.         }
31.     }
32. }

 

Awesome example. Thank you! (albeit a couple months late).
