Drag and drop movement

Hello, im trying to make a game like tower defense where the user drags a tower and drop somewhere in the stage. The problem is that i cannot figure how to detect when the tower has been dropped (it cannot be moved anymore).

Any ideas? I have TGF2.

Thanks

Let me know if you need any more help.

That was great! thankyou, it worked perfectly

No problem.

I have discovered another way to do it simply: www.josealvarezcarbajal.info/jjj/Drag_and_Drop_for_JosephFTaylor.mfa

Now we dont need to have copies of the same element, you have to create more movements and change from drag and drop to static when the counter changes.

I think it could be more simple too... keep researching.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's better, good work! But if you wanted one that was not doing anything (e.g. shooting) and then does something when it is placed down then my idea is the one to go for but I am sure there is a way to do that using your idea and I am sure, like you said, there is an easier way to do it.

i cant find the right extension for it. were can i find it?

Nick,if you are using TGF2 you can not use 3rd party extensions. Since this is in the TGF forums I assume the extension is a default one, or in one of the Bonus Paks.

It is in the movements properties on an active object.

i have mmf2 HWA and when i try to open it it says "the following extension is missing: clickteam-dragdrop.mvx "

Wow, that movement should have been installed with the latest pre-release of 249. I don't think HWA is updated enough...

It is on my 248 update.
