Drag and Drop interactivity
Hi everyone!
I created a drag and drop interaction using a Shrink animation that I learned during the "Getting started with interactivity in Storyline 360" webinar. My slide is set the allow users three attempts when getting answers wrong, but after the first try the timeline doesn't reset to it's original state. Can someone please tell me what am I missing. The file is attached.
Thank you!

Hi, Yami.
Thank you for reaching out!
By default, Storyline's drag-and-drop interaction does not return its objects to their initial location. I found a few discussions that should help you achieve what you're looking for (using motion paths):
- Try Again Button does not direct back to beginning of Slide.
- Drag and Drop Solution - Sample with Multiple Correct Targets with drag off and return plus a lot more.
A second option is to use Reset to Initial state:
On your Try Again layer, change the trigger to Jump to this slide instead of hiding the layer when the user clicks the button:
The downside of this option is that it will create unlimited attempts. You can fix this by using variables. Here's a discussion with some tips on how to do this.
I hope this helps!
Thank you Maria!
I thought that variables might help, but i am still learning about them. I'll definitely check the discussion you provided.
