Hello Chris,
I am trying to figure out an issue with draggables that refuse to work under certain conditions (see the video for illustration, please).
In brief:
- in a first person perspective, when the camera has an exact value of 90° towards the draggable object (topdown), dragging won't work.
- the more I move away from a 90° value, the better the dragging works; this means it works badly at 89°, slightly better at 85° and close to perfect at 70° and less.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

The Hinge Track was created to get around this limitation - though you mention having trouble getting it to work in the video, that's really the way around this, I believe. Hinge Tracks were recently covered in the first person tutorial: you can see the steps in creating a door on a hinge here.
I agree that the unconstrained necessity of it is not intuitive, so I'll add a note or warning about that in a future update. I also empathise that the rotation-correction needed is not intuitive, however a way to counter this automatically without causing breakages is currently not clear to me. I shall at least think on it, however.
