Dragging objects from different layers to a drop zone on base layer

Hi,
I'm using freeform drag n drop slide. In the attached simplified version, I've a few items on base layer that can be dropped in My Collection Box drop zone and it all works fine.
Now, on certain conditions, I show other layers (3d and Directional) which have some more objects that I can drop into my collection. But these items (from the layers) are not shown in draggable dropdown in Form View. Even a trigger "When user drops an object..." doesn't list these items and same with the "Object intersects.." trigger.
So, how can I link draggable/droppable items from various layers to the base layer? If I put everything on base layer, it makes it unmanageable with lots of content (and triggers).
Thanks

Hi Tino and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are working on along with a copy of your .story slide.
All of the objects will need to be on the base layer to be included in the form and work properly. I noticed that you are displaying layers at a certain time and you can certainly create that same look by having the items present on the slide at those times.
Check out slide 2 in the attached file.
I am having the same issue. I wanted to have a image on the different layers to be dragged to the base layer to show in what order the steps will have to take place as the information is to much to display on the base layer. Hopefully, articulate can add this to our wishlist ☺
As i do agree that a mass of triggers can make slides too complex and unmanageable i myself use see ( and use ) 2 solutions for a setup with too many triggers.
- use Javascript. When too much triggers involved, using Javascript can simplyfy your slides.
- use multiple slides. What you are trying to achieve on a layer..make a new slide of it...
