Drag & Drop of an Object...

[Annie]

Hi everyone!

I want to know if how I created a simple drag and drop is right or not. Well, it works, but I'd prefer to not have the item click to the _X,_Y position of the mouse, rather it just be picked up as is and be moved... if you know what I mean. Is there another way? Hope this screenshot works:

Hopefully ive understood correctly (sorry its too early in the morning for me to figure out the code <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) I would recommend looking at Sarah's excellent Jigsaw puzzle examples on the link below, as they show hoe to click on an item once, make them move with the mouse, and then drop when they are over an exact place (using a single mouse click).

Hope that helps.

I find it's best to toggle the object's flag when it's clicked on (you'll need a new event to detect this) or dropped and check for the flag being on in your Repeat while pressed event.

Otherwise if you have more than one object of the same type, you will pick them up too if you drag the first object over them. Kinda like picking up magnets.

As for the X and Y snapping to the mouse position, try setting two of the object's alterable values to the difference in X between the mouse and the object and the difference in Y between the mouse and the object. Then simply replace your Set X("Gift") to XMouse to Set X("Gift") to XMouse + Alterable Value A("Gift"). and the same for Y with Alterable Value B.
