Help: Drag n Drop Dress up game w/ multiple menus?

Help
#1

Hello, I’m making another dress up game (thanks for the help on the last one btw)

I’m still using version 1.19, but with this dress up game it’s drag and drop. I was wondering if you could have a game be drag and drop and have multiple pages and have the choosen item from a previous page stay present while another page is shown.

For example, I have one page that’s just tops but the next page is bottoms and shoes, I want the player to be able to chose a top (drag and drop it on the character base ) and move to the bottoms and shoes page, but still have the top they choosen still present even though the bottoms and shoes page is now being displayed.

It’s that possible to have multiple menus/panels/pages with a drag n drop mechanism?

Here’s an link to what I have so far in my game, I haven’t gotten around to setting up the next page yet, so I only have the tops page done : https://i.imgur.com/XCrU3cM.mp4

Here’s another link to the .wick file, if you want to fiddle with it : https://tinyurl.com/r6rvejf9

maybe you could line all the stuff up and when you press an an arrow on the screen or wathever to go to the next page, you make the last stuff go to other coordinates and when you press back make it be in it same coordinates by code.

Okay, I’ll see if that works

I guess that means I could use if/else for the coordinates

If it worked tell me, if not I will come up with another idea

Okay, I wasn’t exactly able to figure out how to do an if/else statement, but I did manage to figure out how to make the clothing items stay while other items are being displayed, but I don’t know how to make more than 2 pages of clothes, and how to make it so the clothing item becomes draggable again once the player clicks it on the base.
I tried to put everything in different layers/frames if that helps
but I think I need further help, anything would help, even copy paste code
heres a test version of the game just for figure out this situatuion: dress-up-test.wick (3.7 MB) dress-up-test.wick (3.7 MB)

Here’s an example you can dissect.
When you drag the square onto the circle, it removes the square and flips the circle over to the frame with a square

the drag isn’t the problem, Ive already been using the better drag code (you can see it in .wick file). What I would really like to know is how to have the clothes stay on the base while allowing the player to scroll thru the options and also have the clothing on the base be removable,I made a .wick file for tinkering with in my last reply, if I’m explaining this poorly (im sorry)

@Watrmeln thanks for the tip but not really sure how I could use this in my dress up game, could you show me how using the .wick file I proved in my previous replies

Forgot how to edit the original post, but thanks 2 the code provided by Watrmeln was able to come up with the solution to the clothes staying on the base while the player clicks thru options, its not exactly what I first imagined but I’ll take it! I think I was WAAYY to over ambitious with this project and I had made WAAY to many assets, which I shouldn’t do unless I know how make a multi-pages dress game for sure, from now on I think my dress up games will be one page only until I really get the hang of multi-page stuff
Here’s the file if anyone wants to see how I used the code for future ref:

*tip
Make the scroll buttons a bit less shaky

Yeah, I know remember that file is JUST a test an NOT the finish product…Trust me, I’ve fiddled enough with the file to know that, but thanks
