I think a block that could toggle the dragging of sprites in a project would be useful.
It would allow people to drag sprites in the game screen and turn the dragging off.

when this sprite clicked
set [x diference] to ((x position)-(mouse x))
set [y diference] to ((y position)-(mouse y))
repeat until <not<mouse down?>>
    
go to x: ((mouse x) + (x diference)) y: ((mouse y) + (y diference))
end

Just add an “ if dragable = 1”, and set it to 1 to make it dragable, and to 0 to disable dragging

I support, even though there's the workaround. We have the

set rotation style [ v]

block, why not this one?

Just click the little i next to the sprite in the sprite box, then check can drag in player.

I know that, but what I want is to be able to toggle that setting in the game screen

Oh, and xlk I know there are scripts that can do it, but I want a block that can toggle dragging

No support as I think they should remove the “can drag sprite in player” option as it can cause flash to crash in certain instances that have been reported before. Coding for drag and drop is preferable.

I need to know how to drag a sprite for my game but I cannot find out how! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Click the I on the selected sprite then make sure enable dragging player is ticked

That's actually a good idea. If you put the dragging on the sprite on…

if <<[dragging] = [0]> and <mouse down?>> then
    
set [current Y v] to (y position)
set [current X v] to (x position)
repeat until <not <mouse down?>>
    
go to x: (current X) y: (current Y)
end
end

There might be a simpler way, but that's how I'd do it.

You should just stick with the script. I don't think the Scratch Team ever has and ever will make something that can very simply replace a script. They're trying to encourage programming, not replace it with fancy settings.

When you click on a sprite in the sprite list, you will see a blue square around it. If you click the i in the top left corner of the square, a menu pops up to that allows you to drag the sprite without going into editor.

That's a great point! Like I said two boxes up from this comment, the Scratch Team is trying to encourage programming, not replace it with fancy settings.

Hello,
I am new in this forum and new by scratch.
I don't understand the meaning of “if dragging = 0”. Wher does “dragging” come from? Is it a variable?

I have a sprite, which should have to be moveable one time and not to be moveable in another time of the game.
I want to use your script, but i dont understand it (see above).
Thank you for an answer.

Yes, dragging is in fact a variable.

^^
The creator just didn't code their scratchblocks properly.

Anyway, no support as per the workaround.

Thank you for your answers!

I combined the script from xlk (#2) with the dragging variable an the “if dragging = 0 and mouseDown?” and it works.

no!
