Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had a good idea how to limit the drag and drop feature to an axis, so the object would only be able to be dragged up and down for example, like a zip!

I've thought about using the clamp expression, and had confusing and glitchy results! Does anyone have a better idea?

Cheers!

Why not just make your own drag and drop with events..?

+on mouse clicked on object

     >set object.drag to 1

+if object.drag = 1

     >set object.Y to mouse.y

+on mouse left click released

     >set object.drag to 0

Cheers for the suggestion! Took your idea and run with it, removed the flags by just having the movement event activate on IsTouching :)
