Problem with merging objects while dragging

  Hi networ, if you drag stuff, the collide/overlap Rules don't work unfortunately.
  
  There is a workaround, I'll see if I can find it.

  I know, how to get collide working.. I don't want to collide... I need only do that you can put them on selves, put you can drag again only one of these blocks..not both together

  I see, I misunderstood (again ;-) Presumably you're using something like a boolean attribute called self.DragandDrop? I guess you might be, if it's based on the GS template.
  
  so in one only of the squares, square1 say, put
  When actor collides/overlaps with square2
  Change att. self.DragandDrop to false
  
  This way you'll be able to "freeze" one of the square.
  
  BUT....
  
  Still this problem of when the squares are no longer overlapping, to then change DragAndDrop back to true. The only way I can think is using when x and y coordinates is < and >, avoiding the squares dimensions, then change DragAndDrop back to true.
  
  In my test, I couldn't even get the above to work, but I think it should be able to though. Maybe DragAndDrop needs to be a scene attribute in this instance, and maybe each square needs its own DragAndDrop still, so DandD1, DandD2, etc.
  
  You can experiment with the above, I'm sure; hope I've pointed you in the right direction.

  Yes, thanks. That may work but I need to create about 18 "blocks" so it will be hard
  
  EDIT: I trying it now, and it "freeze" block when collide, but if you drag fast you can drag 2 block on themselves and there is same problem... They merge together
