Hi everyone, I'm really new so sorry if this is obvious, I couldn't find an answer in the forums as I can't detect what I'm doing wrong, I want to pick an instance of a card object and snap it to an inventory slot:

It worked when there was just one instance of the object, so I know the drag & drop logic is working, but I can't seem to make it work now that I introduced multiple instances, I don't know if I'm using "Pick Instance with UID" correctly.

Thank you for your time!

You don't need to pick by UID, just remove all these conditions. "Card On Drop" event already picks the Card instance (the one that has been dropped).

Also, having 5 different objects for slots is probably not very effective. You should use one Slot object with 5 instances.

Thank you!

I corrected that, I also found out what I was doing wrong, I used an inverted condition instead of else and it worked!

What was happening is I couldn't make the card snap to the slot like I did before implementing the logic to go back to its previous position.

Thanks for the help!
