Hello Allison,
Thanks for the idea and the provided file, that was of great use to me.
I'm currently buidling up my own connector, using yours as a model, I've figured everything out but to return the connecting lines to their normal state when you drop an item above another. The first item returns to its place, but the connecting line stays in place.
I found that you used the trigger "when the object crosses another", but when the dragged object is automatically put back, it seems that Storyline doesn't count this as "crossing" ?

- Alright, Thanks to Tyler's answer I got it working. In my use case, it was an icofont symbol in a rounded shape, without any feedback, so the shape couldn't change.
So to get the "automatic return in case of dropping an item onto another" to work without keeping the connecting line shown, I had to :
- Create "drop correct" and "drop incorrect" states for each item, and, in each of those,
- Delete the original objet that is duplicated and paste the object from the normal state
This does the trick, because it's a new object, so Storyline gets the change, thus the "crossing".
Hope this may help others :)- Sorry for the delay, Joel! I was out of the office. I'm so glad you got this working and really appreciate you sharing the solution for others :)
