Drag and Drop with Conditional Variables - Changing Object Behavior
Jan 25, 2018
I'm building my first course using Storyline, and I've stumbled on a slightly annoying behavior I just can't seem to correct. I'm using custom drag and drop triggers (not a Freeform slide) with a conditional variable check to prevent the user from moving on too early (the drag and drop interaction leads to a slide jump), so in short it looks like this:
When [object 1] is dragged and dropped onto [object 4] AND [objects 1/2/3] have been clicked, jump to [slide].
The problem is, if the AND condition is not satisfied when the user drops the object, it snaps onto object 4, and does not return to its original position. I have enabled the "drag return" option on each of these objects, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this? Is there a way to add a conditional drag and drop where it is returned to its location if the variable conditions are not met?

Hi Patrick, are you able to upload your file to here? If so I'll take a look.
Unfortunately, I can't share out this particular piece of work. I did, however, use the Drag & Drop options on the drag & drop target to cause the objects to stay where the user puts them, rather than sticking to the middle. It's not a full solution, but it was an improvement.
Thanks for your willingness to help!
