Question
I’m trying to make a simple stacking game. When one ingredient falls and the mouse is clicked, it’s supposed to fall quicker. However, more than one instance at a time falls when it receives the mouse input.
I have tried to use ray casting so that the ingredient that is the closest to the bread will fall quicker when clicked but it only works on the first ingredient.
Send help. All help is appreciated
