I am making this really cool dress-up game for my OC and it's going well but… I really want the clothes to drag onto the character but they won't. I really need some help!!!

I'm assuming you have basic drag and drop working? If not add this to the clothes sprites

When you have that working the next problem is probably to snap the clothes to the right position if close enough to the character. That should just be a case of having the costume centres set properly. For a dress the sprite can be told to go to the character - tweak the dress costume centre so that that means it is lined up correctly. For a top you probably want to do something like

If the dress item isn't close enough to the character you probably put it back at its starting position.

With drag and drop, you can make the clothes follow the mouse when dragged by the mouse and then snap to the character when the mouse button is released. Here is the script that follows this logic:

Hope this helps!

You could just use ‘distance to character’ rather than looking at x and y separately.

Yep, the substitution for the pythagorean theorem that I always forget exists!
Yeah, I should have used distance(detects in a circular area) instead of a x,y positions(which detects in a rectangular area). I wasn't thinking clearly.

Just tap on the clothes and check off:
Draggable in game.
Hope I helped
