The usual method of set x,y to mouse x,y, always moves the object to its hotspot.
This method gets the offset from the hotspot, or basically gets the relative coordinate from where you clicked, and moves it there.
Ie click a corner, drag that corner, not drag from the hotspot.

Demo here:

Nice example. You can also do it by delta-x and delta-y rather than distance/angle, but I guess it works the same.

FWIW I was going to add an official drag+drop behavior at some point which also supports touch.

By the way, is there an official roadmap or todo list somewhere? I can't find it. Just so we know what to expect in the not-so-distant future :)

Thanks.

Hi newt,

Could this be used for touch functions aswell?

If so, how would you achieve this...

Just add the touch object, and switch out mouse.x, mouse.y, for touch.x, touch.y, and the relative conditions.

drag and drop touch

Note you will need the mouse object for preview, haven't tested on export.

It works perfect,

If I just wanted to use X positions for drag and drop how would I achieve this?

At the moment it requires 4 parameters. What value do I use?
