I am new user and I have created a Drag and Drop interaction where 8 out of 16 drag items match correctly with a single drop rectangle item. The other don't belong to the rectangle and I have customized the freeform so that the wrong choices snap back into their place if dragged. Now I want a message to appear when all the 8 correct choices have been dragged into the rectangle (and say 'Well done!"). How do I make that happen?
You could definitely do something like this pretty quickly with some states and triggers. But first, how do you want the "Well Done!" message to appear? Would a layer work for you?
First, what you'd want to do is create a state for the drop objects. Have the objects change to that state when they're dropped onto the target. For example, you could use one of the built-in states "DropCorrect".
So, you could create a trigger that first changes the object's state to the "DropCorrect" state when the object is dropped on the target:
Then, after applying that to all of the shapes, you'll want to trigger the layer or the "Well Done!" prompt:
I'm attaching a quick example I created, just in case you'd like to see if this is something that would work for you.
Let me know if you have any trouble with this or any questions.
