Returning to normal state

Hi Christie, 

You need another event to cause the object state to change again. See the attached example. I added another drag object . You could cue this visually by making it a platform or table. You could add a trigger to the dragged object to reset the display to normal when clicked. This is probably easier than adding the extra drag event.

Thanks, Steve. Good suggestion. You also mentioned adding a trigger to the dragged object (bottle) to reset the display. What would this look like? The dragged object only has one state right now. So would I change the state of the scale text to reset when...? My problem seems to be the when. I tried setting it to when User clicks outside (of dropped area), but that doesn't seem to be working.

I'm still having issues with this interaction, and can't seem to figure out a way to reset the scale to normal when the user drags the bottle off. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Christie

Hi Christie

Place a new transparent rectangle shape at the back of the bottle. Add a new state to the scale, and add the following trigger.

Change state of scale to 0.0 when bottle is dropped back to the new rectangle shape.

Thanks, Dipti!

So I'm thinking the only way around this is placing a transparent or white rectangle that resets the scale. It's close to what I was going for...just have to be careful that the user doesn't click anywhere else or the scale won't reset.

Slightly different implementation. I made the drop spot a bit bigger, snapped it to center and placed the other clearing shape behind. This way you can drag the shape anywhere outside of the scale drop zone and it should reset.

Hi Christie! Looks like you're getting some additional help/ideas here

Thanks!

Yes! This is great, Steve! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for everyone's help! Love the Articulate community!

Thanks for the update Christie! Glad to hear that you were able to get the assistance that you needed

Hi Christie,

I've figured it out. I created another trigger with the "Object Dragged Over" clause that I set up as follows:

I've attached the version with this trigger added. Also, as someone else suggested, you can create a larger drop area and set drop object (bottle) snap to the center. It looks a little neater.
