Drag and drop: make the object stay where it was placed?

[Nanahs]

There's a part in my game where I want the player to be able to place the decoration wherever they want.

Something like:


I'm using this very simple code:

Code: Select all

screen drag:
    zorder 50

    draggroup:
        drag:
            drag_name "plant"
            draggable True
            xpos -60 ypos 10            
            add "plant.png"


label start:

    scene b
    
    call screen drag

The thing is: I want the object to stay in the positon to where the person dragged it to. Is it possible?
Whenever I call this screen again, the object would be where the person put it.

Thank you so much.

Hi Nanahs,

You can find some nice examples for drag and drop: Check this links:

If you want to move it from one place to another (not dropping to particular drop), try this:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def plant_dragged(drags, drop):
        if not drop:
            store.plant_pos[drags[0].drag_name][0] = drags[0].x
            store.plant_pos[drags[0].drag_name][1] = drags[0].y
            return
        return True


screen drag:
    zorder 50
    draggroup:
        drag:
            drag_name "plant"
            child "plant.png"
            droppable False
            dragged plant_dragged
            xpos plant_pos["plant"][0] ypos plant_pos["plant"][1]            

label start:
    python:
        plant_pos = {
            "plant": (100,100)  # Initial position for drag_name "plant"
            }
    scene b

    call screen drag

I did a mistake: you need to change tuple (100,100) to list [100,100] :

Code: Select all

label start:
    python:
        plant_pos = {
            "plant": [100,100]  # Initial position for drag_name "plant"
            }

Thank you so much! I'll try that
