# Move

Moving an object implies different things depending on the object you're trying to move.

1. Pick Up - the character takes the object with their hand, picking it up, and carries it with them.
2. Grab - the character grabs hold of the object with 1 or more hands, to pull/push or even strangle.

More accurately it depends on the size of the object you're trying to move.

<details>

<summary>Examples of small objects</summary>

* Most items; tools, clothing, food, weapons, building materials, etc.
* Small furniture; stools, blender, cell charger, etc.
* Small entities; lizard, birds, cockroach, fish, cats, small robots, etc.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Examples of medium objects</summary>

* Large items; large boxes, large sacks of vegetables, etc.
* Medium furniture; chairs, microwave, small crates, etc.
* Medium entities; humanoids, dogs, medium robots, etc.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Examples of large objects</summary>

* Most furniture; fridge, large crates, water tanks, lockers, tables, etc.
* Large entities; cow, goat, xeno queen, etc.

So how do we decide when to pick up and when to drag? We check the number of available hands..

* small objects - always pick up
* medium objects + one free hand - drag
* medium objects + two free hands - pick up
* large objects - always drag

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ss3d.gitbook.io/design/basic-game-mechanics/interactions/move.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
