Among Us in Unity – Interactable Objects (Lesson 10)

For this lesson on how to create the basics of Among Us, I will show you how to create an interactable object that can be used to open up the different mini-games. This will allow the player to complete the mini-games which are their tasks.

To create these objects we will need to start with a 2D sprite object. This object will need to have a rigidbody and collider component. The collider object will need to set to is trigger and then this object will need to have a new C# script. This prefab will also need a child sprite object that will be used to highlight this object.

Use this sprite sheet to set the sprite renderers of this object to create the different interactable objects.

The C# script on this object will enable and disable the highlight object when the player enters and exits the trigger zone on this interactable object. This script will also have a public function that will enable a game object which will be the mini-game.

We then need to continue the interaction between the player and the interactable object by adding some code to our player controller script. We will first need to read in the mouse’s position and with the mouse position, we will do a raycast when the player clicks the left mouse button. If the raycast hits the interactable object we will call the public function that enables the mini-game task.
