Keeping a drop target stationary for a drag and drop question.
I have drag and drop questions built where the user drops a colored dot onto a yellow circle target. The user is able to drag the yellow circles (drop targets) around the slide and I don't want this to happen. Do I need a special trigger/state change in order to get the yellow circle targets to stop moving? How can I get the yellow circles to stay stationary? I also need the drag items (colored dots) to be able to move into and out of the yellow targets if the user wishes to change answers. Any help is appreciated.
Any object that is designated as a drop target should not be draggable.
If your target can be moved, I suggest you contact the support staff directly: https://articulate.com/support/contact/case
Thank you Judy, I have submitted an inquiry.
Hi Michelle and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes Community! ✨
Great call opening a support case!
I see that my colleague Mark will be reaching out to you shortly. He'll reach out to you via email.
We'll continue the conversation over in your case.
Have a great afternoon!
While you are waiting, check the triggers. A drag trigger attached to any object, even a drop target, makes it draggable.
If you have a "when user drags or drops target" trigger, it will be draggable.
Thank you for your response regarding my issues.
I did check the triggers and I found out I had the wrong objects selected.
I fixed my triggers and my slides are working as I would like them to.
Thank you for your assistance for getting back to me. Have a great Wednesday.
Hi Michelle,
Glad to hear you were able to get the help that you need. Also, your contact information came through as well. This Peek video will show you how to edit it out if you’d like!
