Revert element to original position

Hi!

I'm doing a drag and drop animation. Does anyone knows if there's an event/action or condition that I can use to ensure that the draggable elements are reverted back to the original position if it is not dropped into the correct droppable area?

Thank you! :)

When you click the item to drag it, have it store the coordinates it was at in a variable. Then when you need to revert, just set the X,Y to the coordinates in teh variable.

How do i store the coordinates of the element/s at the start of the position?

Thank you! :)

You can store them in Variables "On start of drag and drop", see global variables here:

https://www.scirra.com/manual/83/variables

or store them in the sprite itself by setting some instance variables. these are created in the properties of the sprite. See the manual here:

Edit: Took the odd space off the links. weird

Hi,

I can't open the links. It states that the resource cannot be found.

For some reason there is a space as the last character of the link. When you click them, go to the address bar and delete the %20 at the end. Or Just click these ones. Also searching the manual works perfectly fine.

i did the global variables, but i can't seem to get it right. I can't understand much from the links. Is it okay for you to explain in more detail?

Thank you very much :)

At the event '-> On drag start' you'll need to set those global variables to position of your object:

DragStartX=Object.x

DragStartY=Object.y.

Then on event '->dragNDrop dropped':

if(not overlapping TargetObject)

.. set object.x to DragStartX

.. set object.y to dragstartY
