Godot 4 Drag-and-Drop Tutorial: Create Interactive Games with Ease 

Oh yeah, in case you can click through multiple objects when using this script you need to use get_tree().get_root().set_input_as_handled() (Again working with godot has made me lose my mind)

@@user-hj8mb6yc2k Hi! Maybe a bit late but I have a simple canvas modulate with a colourrect over it for a shader. I am however unable to click through this (everything works fine if I hide it for a second) where whould I add this so I can click through it?

@@Anna-Mashiro that sounds like its catching mouse events. Did you set the mouse filter to ignore on that canvas object? I might be wrong, sorry for the late reply

Glad it helped

Yea I noticed this bug too. Would you know how to fix it?

@@jornlamb7271 Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was busy with another part of my project. What I've done is set up an array of bodies, appending a body when entered, and removing it from the array when exited. That way, if a body is entered, then a second one, then that body is exited, the first body is still in the array, and you can use that to move to.

extends Node2D var draggable = false *#REMOVED* var is_inside_dropable = false *#REMOVED* var body_ref var offset: Vector2 var initialPos: Vector2 var array_of_bodies = [] *#ADDED* # Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time. func _ready(): pass # Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame. func _process(_delta): if draggable: if Input.is_action_just_pressed("click"): initialPos = global_position offset = get_global_mouse_position() - global_position global.is_dragging = true array_of_bodies.clear() #ADDED to clear array if the original location was added to the array when using tween back to the initialPos if Input.is_action_pressed("click"): global_position = get_global_mouse_position() - offset elif Input.is_action_just_released("click"): global.is_dragging = false var tween = get_tree().create_tween() *#REMOVED* if is_inside_dropable: *#REMOVED* tween.tween_property(self,"position",body_ref.position,0.2).set_ease(Tween.EASE_OUT) if not array_of_bodies.is_empty(): *#ADDED* tween.tween_property(self,"position",array_of_bodies.back().position,0.2).set_ease(Tween.EASE_OUT) *#ADDED* array_of_bodies.clear() *#ADDED* else: tween.tween_property(self,"global_position",initialPos,0.2).set_ease(Tween.EASE_OUT) #NOTE this will add the original body to the array func _on_area_2d_mouse_entered(): if not global.is_dragging: draggable = true scale = Vector2(1.05, 1.05) func _on_area_2d_mouse_exited(): if not global.is_dragging: draggable = false scale = Vector2(1, 1) func _on_area_2d_body_entered(body): if body.is_in_group('dropable'): *#REMOVED* is_inside_dropable = true array_of_bodies.append(body) *#ADDED* body.modulate = Color(Color.REBECCA_PURPLE, 1) *#REMOVED* body_ref = body func _on_area_2d_body_exited(body): if body.is_in_group('dropable'): *#REMOVED* is_inside_dropable = false array_of_bodies.erase(body) *#ADDED* body.modulate = Color(Color.MEDIUM_PURPLE, 0.7)

If the collision shape is the proper size it should activate the body entered function on both. The main thing will probably be to make an array of body_ref to track all currently overlapping bodies. And on release you will probably need some logic to figure out which body to tween to. Which would include ensuring that it isn't hanging off to one side. Hope that helps if I'm not too late

maybe you forgot to connect the signal "$Area2D.body_entered" with "_on_area_2d_body_entered"

Possibly you used a RigidBody2D and gravity is affecting it?

Click on "object", right click, Attach Script (creates blank script) Click on "Area2D", click "Node" (on the right hand side) to list signals, double click on a signal, the 'object' node is pre-selected, click Connect, it adds the function to the script.

i didnt assign dropable to the platform! it works great now! TYSM! great code!

Did you by chance find a fix? If so, slide me the answer, good sir! 🙏

@@Quaffyson2 Hey! Yes i managed to do it with help of my friend. You make a script for your slots(Areas2d or whatever), there you place var occupied = false. In object script after tween func you wright body_ref.occupied = true, and in on_item_area_body_entered you say if not body_ref.occupied, is inside dropable = true. And you tell body no to be occupied when you drag item out of it. Hope this will help!

@@u1over Thank you! You saved me many headaches!
