Drag and Drop Nearest

Hi

I have a sprite for my board game and 9 positions that it can go on top of. I am using drag and drop but am struggling to drop the piece on one of the 9 defined cells rather than a gap in between. I would like the piece to be snapped to the nearest cell that it can go on when dropped - should I be using pick nearest in some way?

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

Matt

Pick nearest object: set sprite position to object.x, object.y

Object is one of the places where it can be dropped

Sprite is the thing you dragged

If you only want it to snap only when the distance is less than some value, add

distance(object.x,object.y,sprite.x,sprite.y) < yourvalue

as a condition.

Thanks for the help - it's very useful. I've tried that but the sprites either don't snap or end up on top of each other at one place (snapped). I think I may need to specify a particular cell somehow.

Are there any pick nearest/touch examples at all?

edit:

this one above had a bug, it is fixed here:

edit: need to set the default value for occupied_field to -1

Thanks very much! I've managed to get the counters to now drop into place.
