[SOLVED] Mouse Over / D'n'D?!

Hey guys!
I wanted to know, how to check a "collision" with the cursor.
I'm making a simple drag & Drop function and started like that:


If mouse left button is clicked, then move the object to mouse_x and mouse_y. Yeah, but right now it doesn't matter, where I click, and the object will immediately be placed at mouse_x and mouse_y.

How can I tell GM8 that the object is only supposed to go to mouse x & y, when the object was actually clicked on?
I want to do it in code, because the normal step even is only running IF it's not being dragged. Everything works so far. I just don't know how to check the mouse "collision".

Thanks in advance!

Step:

if (mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left)) {
   if (position_meeting(mouse_x, mouse_y, id)) {
      // Do something
   }
}

If you're trying to drag instances, then that is definitely not the best method. Let me know what you're trying to do and I might suggest better alternatives.

I was a little bored, so i created a little project.
This is the way i should create it (but there are different ways for it).

You can use this project as is

EDIT: you can drag every block, except the purple block (check the create event).

Thanks for your replies!
Uhm @Aura: I'm just trying to drag my player object somewhere. (for debugging reasons).
But I need to learn about creating a drag n drop system anyways. For any cases.
What I needed to know was the position_meeting thing.
What's the difference between position & place_meeting?
Thanks!

Is .gmz the GMS project data?
If so, I can only use .gmk...
Thanks!

You need to "import" it

@SP1D3R: He's using GM8, so he can't do that.

@Aura i did not know that.

@LucasTheNewbie you can always try GameMakerStudio free version, its way better then GM8

I'm going to check it out as soon as I have WiFi in my new flat. Thanks. But one thing that keeps me from trying it is the new language / syntax in gms.

There's no new language for GM:S. It's still GML. The only difference is that a lot of new functions have been added and some old functions been made obsolete. Now that GMS 2 has come out, you should at least consider moving on to GM:S.

Yes, I know that there is not literally a 'new' language. But a lot of things to get used to. You're probably right.
