Object Drag System

[Warchamp7]

This is a standalone drag system that I put together as sort of a base for when I make the level creator in my Platforming Game. (Click Here for Thread)

Currently, movement is not restricted by the edges of the screen (Something I intend to do)

Also, I have hopes of making a 'Grid system' that the selected object will snap to but that'll probably be a real pain

Next up for this system is making it multi-instance


Just looking for some opinions and possibly ideas for this

Pretty good, not really understanding what its supposed to do but if the thing in the box will be like draggable obsticles and such then its fine. Maybe a little flashing of the Box to make a little varience in the colors. I also couldnt figure out why it was lagging at first, but it seems that u have to click without dragging it

Yes, it is a simple click to grab and click to place system

Basically, for my platformer game (If you go take a look at it) I'm gonna have a level editor and this is the drag system I'm hoping to employ. Just kind of looking for suggestions for it.

I guess it'd help to try my game to understand the purpose fully

Alright, played your game and now I understand how your level designer works. Id make changable sizes for the boxes, like small and large as most level designers do.

Well, you understand how it's going to work

So far I make the levels through variable editing alone
