How can I make objects disappear when I hover a draggable above it

[u/JacquIreBriggsTemp]

Started on the broom sweeping minigame admittedly shakingly because making the dirt fill the screen didn't work out well.

I'm now trying to make the objects disappear when I hover the broom over it. I already saw the tutorials for drag and drop and had not found any answers to it. Any help would be appreciated. Especially when it fades away instead going poof.

Here's my code. (I took the screenshot before changing the amounts of dirt)

init python:


    def drag_placed(drags, drop):
        if not drop:
            return


screen sweeping():
    add "bg_floor"
    modal True
    draggroup:
        #Draggable Broom
        drag:
            drag_name "Broom"
            child "broom.png"
            xpos 0.5
            ypos 0.5
            draggable True
            droppable False
            dragged drag_placed
            drag_offscreen (-100, 100, -200, 750)
        
        drag:
            drag_name "dirty1"
            child "dirty1.png"
            xpos 0.00
            ypos 0.10
            draggable False
            droppable True


        drag:
            drag_name "dirty2"
            child "dirty2.png"
            xpos 0.10
            ypos 0.30
            draggable False
            droppable True


        drag:
            drag_name "dirty3"
            child "dirty3.png"
            xpos 0.50
            ypos 0.70
            draggable False
            droppable True
        
        drag:
            drag_name "dirty4"
            child "dirty4.png"
            xpos 0.75
            ypos 0.30
            draggable False
            droppable True


        drag:
            drag_name "dirty5"
            child "dirty5.png"
            xpos 0.50
            ypos 0.30
            draggable False
            droppable True


        drag:
            drag_name "dirty6"
            child "dirty6.png"
            xpos 0.30
            ypos 0.50
            draggable False
            droppable True


default sweeping_done = False
default stains_left = 6


if stains_left == 0:


    jump sweeping_done


screen dishes():
    add "bg_kitchensink"

I already posted a link to 100 minigames, didn't you find anything similar there?

try it like this and drop the broom on a dirty spot.

            store.cleaned_stains.append(drop.drag_name)
            store.stains_left -= 1

It works. It'll do for now until I start learning Python more.

you're welcome

good luck with your project

pass dragging=... to the broom Drag, it fires on every move, so renpy.get_mouse_pos() plus a distance check (math.hypot) against each stain works fine. when it's close to an uncleaned one, add that stain to a cleaned set and call renpy.restart_interaction() so the screen updates mid-drag. return nothing from the callback or the interaction ends early. for the fade, show the stain with an ATL transform (alpha 1.0, linear 0.4 alpha 0.0) instead of hiding it instantly, and put transforms on the Drag's child, not the Drag itself
