Rotate and Drag
What I'm trying to do:
I am trying to make a Drag & Drop interaction where the user can click the object to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise. I turned off "return to..." option so they can rotate before/during/after moving.
The issue:
The rotation works great. However, when you start to drag the object it resets the rotation to the original position.
Attempts to fix:
My attempts were mainly focussed on continuing to use the Drag & Drop slide, but I think that is what is resetting the rotation.
So …
I'm hoping some of the folks here with a lot more experience could save me from wasting more time.
- Is what I'm trying to do actually possible?
- If so, is there something I have overlooked which is the obvious answer?
Thank you for any insight

Are you able to share the storyline file?
If you are using states, my guess is that storyline would reset that state when it's dragged. I would probably just bypass all of the states, and have 4 different images in the different orientation (e.g., image-0.png, image-90.png, image-180.png, image-270.png) that cycle through between hidden and normal states when clicked, and then set up the target to behave accordingly to each image.
Thanks for that. I was not using states, in fact I was working in a very over complicated way and had not even considered this.
Will update once I've tested but sounds like it bypasses the problem I had
