Trouble with drag-and-drop feedback/snap back to original position

If you add triggers based on drop then this will break the snap back.  If you can add drop states (Drop correct, incorrect and then show these layers based off the state change instead then the snap back should work

Hi Amit,

I'd agree with Phil here. Adding in your own custom triggers removes the built in functionality of the drag/drop options such as the snap back or automatically updating the state of each item to the dropped correct/incorrect. If you used the states that are built in (which you still do have to create) and function as designed here that may provide for a better set up. 

Hello Phil and Ashley, 

Thank you kindly for your responses.  I've played around with the states a bit and I came up with the attached Storyline so far.  I can get it to show the Correct layer (and Hide the item) by using States, but when I want to show one of the incorrect layers (when the object is dropped on the wrong bin), I'm finding that I still need the trigger to say "when object dropped on" whether or not I'm using a state.  And that's what makes the object stick to the incorrect bin.  

Did you mean for me to completely remove the freeform Drag-and-Drop?  If I do that, I can't drag the items at all and I don't see how states would fix that.  

I apologize for my ignorance here.  I'm usually pretty good with Storyline, but I can't seem to lick this issue.  Any further help would be appreciated!  

Thanks

Amit

The simple way is to add a Drop correct and Drop Incorrect state, uncheck the delay state changes in form view.  and then add triggers to show incorrect layer when state = to drop incorrect and correct layer when = to drop correct

Hi Phil, 

Thank you for the response.  Yes, I tried to follow your directions.  Please see the attached document with a few screenshots on two pages.  I think this will clearly explain what's happening.  

I must be doing something very silly wrong here.

Thanks

Amit

You don't need a trigger to change to drop incorrect I think that may be breaking it.  I did only one box here.. Seems to work fine.

I see what you did.  I didn't realize that I didn't need the correct/incorrect triggers.  Now, when I pull the object over an incorrect bin it sometimes shows the incorrect feedback, but sometimes it just shoots back to the original location without showing the feedback.  

Not sure why that is happening, but I'm going to try to figure it out.    

You have been extremely helpful and I sincerely appreciate it.
