how can i pick objects up in game mode and move them around

2

Well using the Set Parent and a small bit of Motion will get a half decent effect. :slight_smile:

3

well if you set it parent how do you put it down and what do you mean with motion also if it s parented to it wont it follow you

4

Here’s a demo, use Arrow Keys to move and spacebar to pick up/drop objects.
Hope it helps.

Glad to be of service. :slight_smile:
The rotation was just for sci-fi effect, it’s not fully needed.

ok its not working on mine for some reason

i got it to work now is there a way to pick one up at a time

Yes, use near sensors.
Make it so when the player is near the monkey and they hit space, he picks it up.

OR

You could use properties to check how many objects the player is ‘holding’.
