Bounded Drag & Drop

Axis

On the instance properties bar, you can manipulate the axis in which the instance can move while dragging; This can also be simulated using the Axis auto-adjust to bounding inputs feature. Depending on the option selected, you can simulate an Axis change by limiting the bound to values.

Bound To :: Radius

On Bound To :: Radius or Both, you can limit the amount of Bound XRadius or Bound YRadius to simulate the change of Axis effect. Check Example1 on the examples tab.

Bound To :: Position

On Bound To :: Position or Both, you can limit the amount of Bound MinX and Bound MaxX or Bound MinY and Bound MaxY to simulate the change of Axis effect. Check Example2 on the examples tab.

Initial State

On the instance properties bar & on the event sheet, you can enable or disable the behavior at any time you want.

Bound To

On the instance properties bar & on the event sheet, there is an option to choose the bounding to options.

Off:

The Off will turn off all the bounding options as if it was an ordinary Drag & Drop behavior.

Radius:

The Radius option will bound the object instance to its own
BoundX Radius & BoundY Radius relative to its Creation Point (X,Y) or also known in the Actions, Conditions & Expressions as OriginX & OriginY which you can overwrite on the event sheet.

Position:

The Position option will bound the object instance's position to between
Bound MinimumX, Bound MaximumX & Bound MinimumY, Bound MaximumY relative to its Creation Point (X,Y) or also known in the Actions, Conditions & Expressions as OriginX & OriginY which you can overwrite on the event sheet.

Check examples, Example1 & Example2 on the examples tab.

Bound By

On the instance properties bar & on the event sheet, there is an option to choose the bounding by options.

Origin

The bounding will take effect on the origin of the object instance.

Edge

The bounding will take effect on the edge of the object instance.

Bound Method

On the instance properties bar & on the event sheet, there is an option to choose the bounding method. There are 2 options, Halt & Clamp.

Halt

This bounding method is rough and will immediately stop the dragging and maintain the previous position if the (dragX & dragY) or (TouchX & TouchY) has exceeded the bounds.

Clamp

This bounding method is smooth and will continue the dragging of available axis that haven't exceeded the bounds while maintaining the previous position of the exceeded bounds
