[Part 7] Autocollect items

[Jonathan Teo]

If you want it to just auto-collect the items if the player is near them instead of having to click, simply add a boolean in InteractableObject autoCollect. Then in the OnInteractableHit add a check for whether the autoCollect is checked, if so, run the pickup function. It will look something like this:

if(other.tag == “Item”)
{
//Set the interactable to the currently selected interactable
selectedInteractable = other.GetComponent();
if(selectedInteractable.autoCollect)selectedInteractable.Pickup();
return;
}

hi, thank you for posting this tutorial. i tried to applied on the script on the OnInteractableHit method like this :

if (other.tag == "Item")
{
    selectedInteractable = other.GetComponent<InteractableObject>();

    if (selectedInteractable.autoCollect)
    {
        selectedInteractable.Pickup();
    }
    else
    {
        selectedInteractable.OnHover();
    }
    return;
}

but the item (e.g. egg or milk) isn’t auto collect, i have to tap the item to collect, can you help me?

Thanks

Hi Fathurrachman,
Check if the item has autoCollect checked in the prefab. If it is checked, does the OnHover behaviour run anyway?
