Drag and Drop with click to select

Unity Engine
1

I have a working solitaire game and I’d like to enhance the input.

The two things I’d like to accomplish together are:

  • Drag and drop a card to a valid play spot. If you drop the card in an invalid place, it’s postilion will revert to it’s original location.
  • Single click to select a card, then click to another spot or card to move it.

I can get both of these working just fine individually but can’t figure out how to make them both work at the same time. IIRC this is how the old windows Solitaire controls worked.

I’m using Input.GetMouseButtonDown in the Update method and RayCasting for collision detection.

I was similar situation.
Use drag and drag event class for mouse drag. And use mouse click event class for mouse click. Both of them needed.

For example, make class start to following ( for mouse drag and drop) :

public class ItemDrag : MonoBehaviour,
IBeginDragHandler,
IDragHandler,
IEndDragHandler

For example, make class start to following ( for mouse click):

public class ItemClick : MonoBehaviour,
IPointerUpHandler,
IPointerDownHandler,
IPointerClickHandler

My example is just part of them.
But if you find the both of class reference you could make your own codes.
