It took me a little while to figure out how to disable draggable on drop—use ui.draggable to reference the object being dragged from inside the drop function:
I have a simpler and elegant solution that doesn't mess up with classes, styles, opacities and stuff.
For the draggable element - you add 'start' event which will execute every time you try to move the element somewhere. You will have a condition which move is not legal. For the moves that are illegal - prevent them with 'e.preventDefault();' like in the code below.
$(".disc").draggable({
revert: "invalid",
cursor: "move",
start: function(e, ui){
console.log("element is moving");
if(SOME_CONDITION_FOR_ILLEGAL_MOVE){
console.log("illegal move");
//This will prevent moving the element from it's position
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
