Does anyone know if this kind of feature is built into storyline. Obviously we already have a drag and drop, but the ability to click on an element, then have that follow the mouse cursor would be brilliant.
I mean, imagine you have a normal drag and drop, but rather than being a drag, you click and the element sticks to your cursor. When you click again, that is where it drops.
Sorry, that isn't the functionality I'm looking for.
Basically, you click on the element, release the mouse click, and the element sits underneath the cursor... So exactly the same functionality as the usual drag and drop, except rather than dragging you're clicking once to move the object around.
Did anyone ever come up with a solution for this? I'm looking for the same functionality as Gary -- I want to be able to select an object (either with a mouse cursor or by tapping on a touch screen), then select its matching destination. Basically, I don't want to hold down a mouse button or keep my finger on the screen when placing. Is this even possible?
I cannot think of an instance where this has been done to share with you. This thread is a bit dated, but feel free to reach out to Gary directly (via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile) to see if he was able to come up with a solution.
If anyone else in the community has created something similar, hopefully they will pop in as well.
I have actually figured out a solution that suits my needs. I'm attaching the .story to this message. Keep in mind that this solution is a workaround and (in this iteration) only functions if you don't need to score the user's interaction.

Maybe You could use a motion path to get the effect
Hi Gary, See if this helps!
