Preventing submission on drag and drops until all items have been dragged
Hello
I have a slide with 9 items that need to be dropped over 3 targets. These have been built manually as there is partial scoring for each correct drop.
I need to be able to prevent users from hitting the submit button unless they have dragged all 9 items.
I have tried disabling the submit button with triggers to change state to normal once items have been dragged over but it doesn't work.
I have attached the slide - note I left the triggers I tried to control the change of state on the submit button in the file but disabled them.
I'd really appreciate some help with this, asap.
Kind regards
Jen
Hi Jennifer. Is the objective to prevent the learner from clicking Submit until after they have dragged and dropped all 9 items into one of the 3 drop targets? Or, do you simply need to check if they have moved each item from their original position...?
Hi Daniel
Thanks for you fast response. The intention is to make sure that the learner has dragged and dropped all 9 items on to the 3 drop targets.
Kind regards

Gotcha. In that case, I would encourage you to look over the attached project I troubleshooted for another SL community member who was experiencing similar problems.
As you'll see, it'll require you to forgo using the built-in Dragged Over and Dropped Incorrect states, and instead opt for a custom Dropped state, and then tie those states to variables.
To help illustrate what this new set up would look like for you with 3 drop targets instead of 5, I've revised the previously attached SL file.
Hi Daniel
You are a hero. Thank you for providing your file so that I copy the variables and triggers. It worked?
Many thanks
Jen
