Yes the texture disappears if you drag and drop it outside, I set the previous node to null that was causing the issue, instead we will swap between two nodes, that will solve the problem, I made an update video + a whole Inventory system, if you are a future viewer here you go

This is the most calming programming tutorial ive ever watched

I appreciate how short and to the point your video is! It is a great resource when looking for techniques I haven't implemented yet!

I've probably tried at lteast 4 different methods to do this, but this simple tutorial is the only one that I understood fully and that worked like it was supposed to. Thanks!

I've watched 3/4 tutorials for drag and drop. Yours is the best.

[jumpsneak]

Great, simple solution, straight to the point

[trainzmarcel]

this is the best and simplest implementation ive seen, just using these built in functions is really smart

[parkerpierce]

as someone just getting used to making things that do thinks, your tutorials are great! Than you for making them

From my understanding the built-in function only generates an event when a "Draggable" satisfies the _can_drop_data requirements, i can highlight a Slot objects when _can_drop_data is fired, but nobody tells me if the Draggable is not hovering anymore...

[randalllasini]

Thank you. So simple example and explanation.

[rockyhitcha]

Thank you for your tutorials! 1:39 Could you help telling me the meaning of adding "var preview = control" ?, i found that i can ignore it to get the same result 🤔

There is a slight problem with this code though - if you leave your texture anywhere else other than the designated spot, it just disappears, and cannot be recovered

[TIP] if you wish to have the texture at the center of your mouse, or any other position than the top left corner, after you do the just set the position of the preview_texture to a new vector2. Hope it helps someone

[yusarimahubara]

If you release the preview outside the panel, it simply disappears, how can I recover the texture?

Hi, thanks for this tutorial. If I want to swap ItemA in TextRect and ItemB in TextRect1 after dragging ItemA to drop in ItemB, how should I amend the code to reflect this swap?

[babaamar]

sprite2d mouse pressed stay if you drag beyond viewport and come back... any solution?

[bowl]

hey, I have set my window's Stretch setting to 'keep', and it made the texture while dragging end up like wayy off my cursor. anyone have ideas on what went wrong here?

[The_sky]

hey but when inside the inv when u put the item outside of the inv it just dissapears in to tin air

[bugoman]

Then How do i make it snap??? like if the sprite is outside the boundary, it will go back to its original position?

[haiden]

keep making this tutorials they are very good
