Hello everyone,

the Drag and Drop acts weird when its in Collison with a Solid Object.

see the green shape is going above the solid object, I want the green object not been able to go outside the big box or inside the small box. I want the Drag and Drop act like the Movements Behaviors (8 Directions, Platform, ...etc) where it won't go over the solid object.

something like this:

The trick is you need to check the positions from where you start dragging to where you want to drag to and stop short of the first overlap. As is the drag and drop behavior teleports the object so the 8dir collision response will only push out the closest direction and has no knowledge if it jumped through walls.

One possible way:
