    Hello, I would like to be able to move an object’s UV cords around using dragging. I, however, cannot seem to find how to access the values that the “When Dragged” puzzle generates. One alternative I just thought of would be to move an invisible object around with drag and then use that object’s position to change the UVs. Is there a way to change a value directly using the when dragged puzzle. (i am using Blender and moving the UVs through a value input node)

    this can be done with JavaScript I think – check out the code generated by drag puzzles in your_app/visual_logic.js file

    Yes, I think this can be implemented with Puzzles – you should add Value nodes to your shader in order to transform the UV coordinates. Then use the get transform and set value puzzles to map your UV to the object world coordinates.
