This function is not called on objects that belong to Ignore Raycast layer. This function is called on Colliders and 2D Colliders marked as trigger when the following properties are set to true: - For 3D physics: [Physics.queriesHitTriggers](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/physics/querieshittriggers.md) - For 2D physics: [Physics2D.queriesHitTriggers](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/physics2d/querieshittriggers.md) `OnMouseDrag` can be a [coroutine](/engine/6000.5/manual/scripting/coroutines-section/coroutines.md).

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour

    void Start()
    {
        rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
