Can I have multiple correct drag object/drop target combinations?

Hi Jacquelyn,

As Ashley said, default Drag and Drops are relatively restrictive. Perhaps a Pick One simulating a drag and drop will meet your needs. I created an instructional video a while back: Drag Drop - Multiple Drags with Multiple Targets. Here's the description:

Articulate Storyline users sometimes feel constrained by the default Freeform Drag & Drop quiz, which limits us to 1 drop target per drag item. In this tutorial, I describe how to overcome this drawback using a Freeform Pick One Quiz.

Thanks, Ashley. I had read that but I really was hoping it wasn't strictly true & there would be a way around it as it seems so very restrictive.

Hopefully Rebecca's solution will work for me though.

Thanks, Rebecca!!!

Please shout out with any questions, Jacquelyn. If I don't seem them, someone will be sure to jump in.

Hi Jacquelyn,

I hope that Rebecca's solution will help you out - she's definitely one of our super heroes who comes up with increasing creative and helpful workaround to set something up in Storyline outside the built in behavior. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to let us know! 

Tx for the kudos, Ashley and I wish I could take credit for the workarounds. But it's all really based on so many good ideas everyone contributes here...great place to get the creative juices flowing!

Such a cool solution, Rebecca, thank you!
Just what I needed today, trying to make a drag and drop where you need to dress a person - wanted to make sure that when putting on gloves it did not really matter which one matches left or right hand, they just need to wear two ;)

Love this community and all the creative people around!

Thanks for popping in to say so Miranda and glad that Becky was able to assist you as well.

Hi Rebecca,

I've set up a simmilar solution by using booleans for conditions.

The only problem is, if I drop an object to the correct spot, then move it somewhere else, then it remains correct.

So it's possible to get a Correct Feedback without having any of the drop targets filled.

Any solution?

Hi Daniel! Unfortunately Rebecca does not make it back to the forums. If you'd like someone in the community to take a look, feel free to share your .story file :)

Dear Leslie!

Just found the solution! I'll make it work on all the object and i'll share it!

Thanks Daniel :) I look forward to seeing.

Hi,

Here is my multiple correct drag and drop slide. I think it worth to spend 1-2 hour to make it. Good luck for the analysis for those how would like to replicate it!

Some help for understanding:

variables:

*: E/R/Q those are abbr. for Episode, ronde, and quodlibet (music form and technique)

*1spot: number, means that this drop object is placed on that drop target 

S abbr. for spot

S*1w: number, means how much objects this drop target contains

also there is an invisible 8th drop target to help determine if the target is dropped outside

And I'm also using custom triggers for feedback controll.

Well it's just around 50 complex triggers!

Thanks for sharing Daniel!

Update: you may have to resize the objects or targets to make it work!

Thanks again!

Very smart workaround Rebecca. I may use this soon. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to see that this older thread is assisting you as well Joanna :) Thanks for popping in to share.

Hi are 

do you have a slide started you can share. Just use the 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post to upload.

Here is a rough sample of what I think you are asking.

FYI there is also a Freeform DnD slide you could use

Hi All,

I need your help Heroes...drag and drop quiz.
I have 6 suits. All the same suits in color and design.
I need to drag only 4 of them into one target.
4 suits are correct. More or less than 4 is wrong.

It should be random suits to be dropped. 
How do i do this? Thanks in advance...

Hi Danilo,

Do you have a copy of your .story file that you're able to share here? That's often a good way to have the community assist with a particular project or issue that you're running into.  You’ll want to upload the .story file here (which is the file prior to publishing) using the “ADD ATTACHMENT” button at the bottom of the forums reply window. 

Hi,
I don't have the story file here. It's at my work. But basically thats the
instruction.
8 suits all same color and design one drop target.
Dropping 4 suits makes the answer correct.
Drop more or less than 4 is wrong.
I still cant figure out how to do it.

Thanks,
Ashley

I mean thanks Ashley...

If you're looking to drop any four out of the eight correct, that's not something that the built in drag and drop questions are equipped for, but it may be something that folks in the community can weigh in on here! I hope they're able to share an example with you, and if you're able to share what you've got so far in the coming days that may help spark their design imaginations!
