Drag items disappear when dropped???

Hi there, I'm creating a drag-and-drop game in Storyline 360. When I preview the game, the object automatically disappears when I drop my object on the correct target. I didn't set the "drop correct" state to make the object transparent or do that in my trigger. Have I missed something?

    On your drag and drop slide. At the top under 'Design', top left there is a button that says 'Drag & Drop Options'. What is selected in yours? Second thought... What is the order of your layers? For a recent one I did, all my 'Drag Items' are on the top layers, while the spot where I am dragging them is underneath. Is it maybe be dragged to the right spot, but not visible anymore because your layers are out of order?

  • Can you share the slide or a screenshot of your Trigger panel?

    Hi Steven, 

    Thanks for reaching out. All of my layers were in the right order. Turns out, when setting my "drop correct" state, I had moved my object to where I wanted it to be when dropped. I didn't realise it my trigger would move it to the X/Y values relative to the drop area. I set those back to zero and it was all fine. I hope this experience helps someone else out.
