Show Drag and drop feedback layer automatically

Hi Matthew,

A few ways to do this. I've attached a file that illustrates one method. For this method, I unchecked "Delay item drop states until interaction is submitted". This allows me to add a Drop Correct state to each of the dragged objects. I added a graphic to these but you don't have to. It can be the same as the normal state.

Next, I changed the trigger for submitting the interaction to be when the state of all of my dragged objects are Drop Correct. And now you have an interaction that shows the correct layer and submits the interaction when all of the objects are in the correct spots!  You may want to add another state to each object for Drop Incorrect. This way if someone gets it right once, it'll reset and not show correct when it's not supposed to if folks are experimenting.

Oh... Just noticed your graphic. Unfortunately you can't add states to groups so my solution above won't work for your current construction. If you combine all of them into the same shape object or save each group as an image and import you can use the method I've shown above. 

OK. You can use the method in the example above if you add the state to one of the objects in your group. Only needs to be added to one object for each group. Since all objects in a group receive the same events (when dropped correct, clicked, etc..) we can still track the state of one of the objects in the group.

Thanks Steve... you're a champion!! 

I appreciate the speedy response as well.

Hi Steve, 

I've been trying to replicate what you've done  (attached) but when I try to change the  trigger for submitting the interaction to be when the state of all of my dragged objects are Drop Correct, I get an error message saying "flagged objects do not have the selected state". I can't see how what I'm doing is different from yours. Any ideas? 

EDIT: I've since figured this out myself. I needed to edit the individual states of the objects as per this tutorial - http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/adding-and-editing-states.aspx

Thanks for coming back to update the thread Jack and I'm happy you were able to figure it out! Welcome to the Heroes community!
