Drag and Drop Problem

You are on the right track with what you are doing with the drag items, you just need to extend it to the targets, too.

Duplicate a target and align it with the original and behind it. When a drag item is dropped on the target, change the state of the second target, and hide the original. It will look like the drag was dropped, but will not accept any drop item.

In the sample, I set up rule 1 and example 1 that way.

Just my opinion, but if I were doing it, I would set the drag items to return if dropped outside any target.

Hi Walt,

I really appreciate the input - the return if dropped outside any target, certainly helps the look and feel. I'll try it all out.

Hi (Again) Walt,

I have just spent several frustrating hours trying to replicate your solution. I can see what you've done, but I can't replicate it.

It seems a really elegant and simple solution (especially with the 'Return an item' option ticked, but I can't see what I am doing wrong. I have duplicated and resaved the Rule 1 (Rule 11) image and the triggers and adjusted the settings but...

I realise it's difficult for you to comment, but is there something obvious I am missing?

Thanks and Regards Michael

If you attach your .story file, I'll take a look at it.

Hi Walt,

Once again, I really appreciate your response and help.

The client has changed their specifications and how they want the D&D to function.

So at the moment, the simpler (original) version is what they want.

Kind Regards

Michael

Hello Michael, Have you tryed to configure the Drag and Drop Options in the DESIGN tab? You can select the box "Allow only one item in each drop target". Hope this can help.
