Something like this...

+ User click on an object
- Active Object - Set flag 0 on

+ Active Object - Flag 0 is on?
- Active Object - Set position at mouse

+ X Repeat while left mouse is pressed (negated)
- Active Object - Set flag 0 off

Another example (that I find easier) is:

*Repeat While Left Mouse Button is Pressed
+Mouse is over Active

-Set X position of Active to Xmouse
-Set Y position of active to Ymouse

It is just one event with two actions. No flags required and it works great .

That's not a good solution if you ask me.. If the mouse is moved to fast the object will stop being dragged!

I usually use an Always command to ensure the object is ALWAYS dragged until I let go of the button. I think this is a more effective way.

Turn the flag ON and say ALWAYS XMouse YMouse
then turn the flag OFF and stop the always from running.

Repeat Flag ON while Right Mouse Button is clicked
Repeat Flag OFF while Right Mouse Button is NOT clicked.

That should make it so no matter what the object will drag and drop.

Now its just a matter of making the colisions work. Have fun!
