Drag & Drop multiple icons into multiple drop zones
Hi All,
I have a file driving me crazy. I have setup icons to drag and drop into zones next to text. There are 2 icons stacked up multiple times on each other, so when you drag one off, another is revealed.
One icon (jar) should drag/drop next to black type, the other icon (a trash can) should drag/drop next to the red type.
My goal is to have any of the jar icons drop into any of the black text drop zones and any of the 'trash can' icons drop into any of the red text drop zones.
I've been trying everything I can think of with the triggers, but always get my 'try again' feedback screen.
I am stumped, so if anyone can make suggestions I'd appreciate it. Hopefully I've overlooked a simple solution. I've included 2 variations of the file, the 2nd one doesn't have links to specific drop targets defined in the Form View.
I am using the most recent version of Storyline 360.

Chuck,
Here is a look at the Do_Dont quiz. Slide 1 allows you to drop the icons next to the text. It works because the icon is dropped, and instantly moves on a motion path back home, while the text space changes state to either the trash can or the jar. Depending on which it should be, one is DropIncorrect, and the other DropCorrect. Any other way of doing it requires that the learner drop the jar and can in not only the correct place, but in the correct order.
Slide 2 allows the text to be drug to a target.
Slide 3 is the original.
Here is the feedback story. I changed it to a Likert survey question. I copied and pasted your design, then turned some of the built-in elements invisible. I gave it a result slide. Result slides aren't normally in the story flow by default, so I gave it a Submit and Jump to Result slide trigger. I don't use that sort of thing enough to know how it reports to the LMS.
FYI There is a built-in superpower that sets other objects to Normal state if one of them is clicked. You summon it by selecting all the ovals, right-clicking them, and choosing Button Set. When one is selected, all the others are deselected' no need to write your own triggers.Hi Walt,
I turned those into survey questions which worked out fine although I didn't like the lack of control over the look of the screens. Particularly the radio buttons.
Your superpower is great. Thanks for the tip. I will have great use for that in the future.
Hi Walt, thanks for your examples on the Do/Don't screen. What you've done is a great solution. I ended up doing something not to my liking but it worked well enough for the client needs. I'm embarrassed to say you gave me a solution like this quite a while ago but I didn't remember. I wish this kind of thing would be second nature to me, but my client uses very few quiz screens and on top of that, their LMS has been updated and no longer reports user responses!
Thanks again Walt, I really do appreciate your guidance.

This is amazing and informative discussion I changed it to a Likert survey question. I copied and pasted your design, then turned some of the built-in elements invisible. I gave it a result slide.
