Drag and drop around a map
Aug 05, 2016
Are there any good tutorials for an interaction where I have a map and the learner needs to drag and drop (or place) an object on a specific point to access the information (like a treasure map). Each spot on the "map" would show a different slide/set of slides and then when completed return to the original and go on to the next.
I know I can do it easily if I just have them click on an object, but I would like to include the interactivity of them moving an object from point to point.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Have you tried adding Hotspots to the map and then create a Trigger for the object(s) you want to drop? For example, if you have one object and want to drop on various hotspots on the map.
Trigger: Jump to slide (or whatever you want to show) When (Object name) is dropped on (Hotspot name).
Then when they complete the slide (or set of slides), have a button or the Next button return them back to the Map slide.
I hope that helps!
That is so easy that I feel stupid now for not thinking of it... I just automatically went to the "drag and drop" section and it was all about quizzes, which I knew was not what I wanted. That makes so much sense!
I'll let you know how it goes!
Thank you!
You're welcome and DON'T feel stupid! I have been using Storyline for 4 years now and STILL run into things I cannot figure out how to accomplish. That is why this FORUMS site is SO awesome!
Good luck and happy Storylining!
That worked perfectly! Thanks so much!
