Drag and drop variables

Feb 06, 2015

Is there a way to reset a variable to 0 when the user completes an action?

I'm creating a drag and drop interaction with a change in variables depending on where the object is dropped. So for instance, if the object is dropped on a blue square, x=1, if dropped on a green square, x=2. There will be a graph to show the value of x once the object is dropped. I can set that up pretty simply, but I want the user to be able to move the object to a different drop location and see the new value of x rather than the addition of the two values for x.

Can this be done?

Have a look at the attached file and see if that's what you want. To set/reset a variable (rather than adding to it), you could use a trigger with an Assignment operator, like the one I used on the red rectangle. Hope that helps

That's a good alternative. I was hoping for something that would automatically adjust the variable if moving from the green to blue (assuming they had different values) without having to reset it.
