How to add user interactions?

Changing color with click event

To change the color of our object with interactions, first we will add a material.

    var boxMaterial = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial("material", scene);
    boxMaterial.diffuseColor = BABYLON.Color3.Random();
    box.material = boxMaterial;

Now we can add a click event and change the color and position with the click

box.actionManager = new BABYLON.ActionManager(scene);
    box.actionManager.registerAction(new BABYLON.ExecuteCodeAction(
    BABYLON.ActionManager.OnPickTrigger, 
    function (evt) {
        var sourceBox = evt.meshUnderPointer;
        
        //move the box upright
        sourceBox.position.x += 0.1;
        sourceBox.position.y += 0.1;

        //update the color
        boxMaterial.diffuseColor = BABYLON.Color3.Random();
    }));

Dragging an object

    //Create pointerDragBehavior in the desired mode
    //var pointerDragBehavior = new BABYLON.PointerDragBehavior({});
    //var pointerDragBehavior = new BABYLON.PointerDragBehavior({dragPlaneNormal: new BABYLON.Vector3(0,1,0)});
    var pointerDragBehavior = new BABYLON.PointerDragBehavior({dragAxis: new BABYLON.Vector3(1,0,0)});
    
    // Use drag plane in world space
    pointerDragBehavior.useObjectOrientationForDragging = false;

    // Listen to drag events
    pointerDragBehavior.onDragStartObservable.add((event)=>{
        console.log("dragStart");
        console.log(event);
    })
    pointerDragBehavior.onDragObservable.add((event)=>{
        console.log("drag");
        console.log(event);
    })
    pointerDragBehavior.onDragEndObservable.add((event)=>{
        console.log("dragEnd");
        console.log(event);
    })

    // If handling drag events manually is desired, set move attached to false
    // pointerDragBehavior.moveAttached = false;

    sphere.addBehavior(pointerDragBehavior);
