Attaching two objects

Armuel

I want to be able to make an objects stop when it connects to an object and then using click and drag pick up the two actors stuck together. How can I do this?

mangaroo

create global integer RelativePositionX & RelativePositionY
create global boolean IsStuck?

object1
======
Collides with object2

Create Rule:
If object1 collides or overlaps with object2 then:

*change attributes both self.motion.linear velocity.x & Y to 0
*constrain attribute game.RelativePositionX to attribute self.position.x
*constrain attribute game.RelativePositionY to attribute self.position.y
*change attribute IsStuck to true

Otherwise:

*change attribute IsStuck to false

object2
======
Rule If attribute game.IsStuck is true then:

*constrain attribute self.position.x to attribute game.RelativePositionX + self.size.width + (number separating the two actors further)
*constrain attribute self.position.y to attribute game.RelativePositionY (so that they are bound horizontally)

Click & Drag - not quite sure fully about the attribute for touch positions..x & y - hopefully someone else can chime in.
----------
Rule for object1 -
When mouse position is inside AND mouse is down (or touch or whatever)
constrain attribute self.positionX to _________
constrain attribute self.positionY to _________

Full disclosure: I only have 6 days experience total. Makes sense to me though
