Could someone explain Droppable/Receiver please?

[selfdestruk1]

I've read the two wiki pages by the same title, but can't find any further information. How does this work? What does the "string name" mean; can receivers only receive drops from droppables of the same name? I can't get any of the arguments to work either.

The following is the code that does not work

--called when an inventory item is dropped to another panel
local function dropped(dest, src, isdrop)
    
    debug_text("Hover from " .. src)
    if isdrop then
    
        debug_text("Drop from ".. src)


    end


end



            icon_panel:Droppable( slot )
            icon_panel:Receiver( slot, dropped() )

You can't get this to work because you don't seem to understand how to code properly. I mean this:

 icon_panel:Receiver( slot, dropped() )

is not how you do it. You gotta do something like this:

 icon_panel:Receiver( slot, dropped )

Anyway, I probably should add an example on how to use this stuff to wiki.

Basically, you want to apply Panel:Droppable to all your icons that should be draggable, and Panel:Receiver to all the panels that should accept those draggable panels.

This function:

--called when an inventory item is dropped to another panel
local function dropped(dest, src, isdrop)

    if isdrop then
        
        debug_text(dest)
            
        for k,v in pairs(src) do
        debug_text(k)
        debug_text(v)
        end
    
    end
    
end

Is called by:

            icon_panel:Droppable( "banana" )
            icon_panel:Receiver( "banana", dropped, blank )

And returns:

Panel: [name:Panel][class:Panel][0,0,64,64]
1
Panel: [name:Panel][class:Panel][0,0,64,64]

I guess a better question is - how can I 'tell' that function which panel was the source and which one was the destination? I don't understand what the point of passing the function "Panel: [name:Panel][class:Panel][0,0,64,64]" is, it contains nothing unique and seems useless

I think I answered my own question... I need to declare a panel name, which I can then get from the userdata passed to the function

icon_panel:SetName( astring )
