Release Notes for 369

Would StartDrag also work?

EDIT: A bunch of drag/drop events and functions were added in one of the previous releases: Release Notes for 366

Nope - the datatype is incorrect, so this function is unusable - I tested it with my plugin with no good results.

Not even sure what the drag function would be used for.

The toolbox uses StartDrag when you drag and drop models from the catalog onto workspace:

function InsertAsset.dragInsertAsset(options)
	local assetId = options.assetId
	local assetName = options.assetName

	if DebugFlags.shouldDebugWarnings() then
		print(("Inserting asset %s %s"):format(tostring(assetId), tostring(assetName)))
	end

	ChangeHistoryService:SetWaypoint(("Before insert asset %d"):format(assetId))

	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		-- Mark the toolbox as using the C++ drag handler implementation
		-- That will insert the given asset and drag it in the 3d view
		options.plugin.UsesAssetInsertionDrag = true

		-- TODO CLIDEVSRVS-1246: This should use uri list or something
		local url = Urls.constructAssetGameAssetIdUrl(
			assetId,
			options.assetTypeId,
			Category.categoryIsPackage(options.categoryIndex)
		)
		if DebugFlags.shouldDebugUrls() then
			print(("Dragging asset url %s"):format(url))
		end
		options.plugin:StartDrag({
			Sender = "LuaToolbox",
			MimeType = "text/plain",
			Data = url,
		})
	end)

	if success then
		ChangeHistoryService:SetWaypoint(("After insert asset %d"):format(assetId))
		sendInsertionAnalytics(options)

		-- TODO CLIDEVSRVS-1689: For AssetInsertionTracker.trackInsert with dragged
		-- asset, need to listen for dropped event on 3d view which
		-- depends on viewports api

		-- TODO CLIDEVSRVS-1246: If they cancel the drag, this probably shouldn't be called?
		options.onSuccess(assetId)
	else
		warn(("Toolbox failed to drag asset %d %s: %s"):format(assetId, assetName, errorMessage or ""))
	end
	return success

end

StartDrag accepts a dictionary, so you should be able to do a whole lot with it.

Hopefully there will be some documentation available for this soon.
