Drop target status change

Jun 29, 2020

Hi, maybe I'm missing something...tried to use the help, but none of the pages are currently working for me. :(

I have a situation where I want the status of the drop TARGET to change, not the drop item. So, I have a box that says "drop item here" and they have to drag a text box onto it. Once an item is dropped, I want the drop target to be blank so you don't see the "drop item here" text and the text of the item as well. I figured out how to do it changing the drop item, but I'd rather change the target. I created states, just can't figure out how to get a trigger to work.

I'd get rid of the selected states on the draggable objects
Get rid of the visited state
Create a state without text
Create a trigger to change the state of the object to X state when object is dropped on it

Here's a tutorial where I show a few ideas.

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! I'm on SL3, so the trigger ended up being backwards from what you had. The trigger isn't exactly the same (360 is much more intuitive), but I was able to get it to work. I had to create 4 triggers for each answer that changed the state of the target. I attached what my trigger screen looks like. Thank you again!!
