Drop target states

Here is a list of all built-in states: http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/definition-of-built-in-states

nothing usefull in my case ((

you can disable a drop target after an object has been dropped on it

I have a similar question as Dmitry. I have 2 drop targets and 6 drag items. All drag items need to be dropped into the drop targets. No specific requirements on which item goes to which target. However, the student should drop at least one item in either drop targets. Which built-in states can I use in a trigger to check if a drop target is empty (or not)? Or is there another way of doing this? Thanks!

Phil mayor, how? thanks

Hi, Chris. Did you find a solution? Thanks in advance.

Hey Gabriela! Hopefully Chris is still subscribed here and will be able to assist you. You are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.

It doesn't work when we put a drop target to the disable state when an object is dropped inside. The drop target can still welcome another object.

I wrote a kind of solution here:

Thanks Gillian!  I'll just drop that here, as well:

1) Create a "deleted" state for your drop target and you delete the element from the scene in this state. 

2) tell your drop target to switch to deleted state when your correct item is dropped inside. So your drop target will no longer display and would be disabled.

3) If your drop target had a specific shape you can tell by a trigger to display a fake drop target instead of the active one when the other one switch to deleted state.

It need more work, but in my case it is less tedious to set up.
