Can I have multiple correct drag object/drop target combinations?

Two things:

I couldn't get it to drop right because the items only drop on correct drop spots. Maybe you want it that way, but if you don't you need to make the incorrect targets potential targets. If you create a regular drag and drop, you can identify which objects are potential drop targets. The only way you can do that using another kind of slide is to identify potential drop targets in a trigger. So I copied the triggers and changed them "Change state to Drop Incorrect" if person is dropped on wrong target. That way the person can be dropped on any target.

The other thing is that you were dropping them on groups. I used a group in SL once, and it worked the way I wanted. I think it was in 19...  No, wait. I'm thinking of another program, Maybe ...  Well, it doesn't matter; the point is that groups don't work in SL. Pretty much you can use groups, or you can have triggers and states that work, but not both. In the attached sample, I changed two of the groups to rectangles with words on them, and two of them to text boxes with a color fill. I would suggest that you can't tell by looking at them which is which, and you can't tell by looking which slide has the groups, and which has the rectangles and text boxes. You can tell them apart when you preview them; the one without the groups is the one that works.

Is there any update on a better way to have multiple drop targets? I want to have people sort items into "buckets" based on their own experience. There is no right or wrong answer, I just want to capture which "bucket" they put an item in. I've got it working, setting a variable depending on where they put it, but items they drag onto the targets get put on top of each other so you can't see them unless I assign a drop target. Then it looks fine for the "bucket" I said was the right answer, but still puts them on top of each other for the other "bucket". All I'm trying to do is let the answers be spread around so you can see and move them once they're in a bucket.

Part of Kelly's problem was that she needed the program to declare the result Correct or Incorrect. If you don't have to have a right or wrong answer, you should be able to use a built-in Drag and Drop. That way you can take advantage of the  built-in options that Crystal mentioned. You can still use the variables you have to track the final drop locations.

Is there a way to do this in 360? I can't replicate the earlier instructions on the latest version of Storyline.  I need learners to create a diagram but 7/10 labels can go to 7 drop zones (IE their order is not important). How might I achieve this?

There is a sample in this discussion that may help:

I've cracked it now thank you! My problem was that I thought the hidden buttons were going to appear automatically, I didn't realise they needed to be created from scratch. 

Essentially you are creating a drag and drop from scratch but using the 'pick one' element to set off the feedback layers. I think this would probably be possible using variables instead.

I spoke too soon and have realised that it only half works in that it is impossible to get it wrong! If you drag an item on to the wrong drop zone it just springs back! HELP!

My colleague has now helped me with this - I needed additional 'drop incorrect' states to get it working properly (in case anyone is interested!)

Glad to hear you got it working, Rachel! Thanks for the update. 

Hi,

I'd like to share here another example I have created based on ideas from different posts.

Hope it will help!

Things to consider: it is based on a MC question slide with drag objects limited to 9.

There are 9 drag words (word1, word2, ...) and 9 targets for each (tar1, tar2, ...). Hide the ones you don't need from timeline begining from the end (word9, tar9, word8, tar8, ...)
