And if you have any tips or tricks for me, please do leave a comment!

So, it’s got to have a card design in the…

Here’s how I am currently implementing drag-and-drop functionality in the early stages of remaking CBL in Unity. Instead of moving the object as it is dragged, I draw an arrow from the point of the initial click to the current mouse position. For the arrow, I have adapted ShawnFeatherly’s approach from Unity Answers as follows: //This doesn’t need to be public, but it helps when you’re initially trying to find the right size public float arrowheadSize; Vector3…
