How do I drag an object with inertia ?

My project looks like the top of a desk with objects on it.

Every object can be dragged to another place on the desk.

Instead of the regular movement, I'd like to make the object move a more natural way.

The idea is that when the object is draged it starts just a little bit to rotate around where it has been clicked and this rotation is related to the drag speed.

I know this involves physics but I don't know how.

Second question :

One of my object is a container with many objects attached to it and everything needs to move together.

If you are planning to use Physics, here is a simple example:

Dragging a container object may be tricky. You can try attaching objects with pin for dragging, and then un-pin and re-connect them using Physics joints. But this may require a lot of trial and error.

Thank you ! I had a look at your example before but saw that sprite doesn't move when it is picked.

I understand container is tricky. I already have a problem with changing Z index of all of its element. When I change the z index of the main element, the other elements of the group.

Very strange...

Do you mean something like this?

You can drag the doll with mouse.

Please ignore everything I said about physics. Is this what you are trying to do?

One thing I couldn't fix so far is to have dragged element come in front of the rest of the scene

You mean on z-axis?

On Drag Start - Sprite Move to front

Lovely ! It works ! Thank you !
