function hnext0_MouseMove()
{
if (mouse.IsModeEnabled(eModeLookat)) {

  object[0].SetView(6);
  object[0].Animate(0, 5);
  object[0].StopAnimating();
  oHandx.Visible = false;
  }
}

Hello.

I may recommend using GUI with animated button instead of objects for this. Objects are restricted for the room, which means that in every room you would have to create another object for this hand. GUI, on other ... hand () are not tied to the particular room.

Another thing, you are playing blocking animation that would pause the game for a moment, which may become unwanted (annoying player).
My suggestion is instead to do this:
- start non-blocking animation when mouse enters the area, and run the timer;
- in repeatedly_execute check for the timer, and when it runs out, hide the object.
This way your game does not get paused while the hand is on screen, and player can still move cursor freely.

hi thanks, the hand is only put in the rooms where he says he can go on, for the code that you say what should I change?
I did not know then that in the GUI I can put animated objects

function hnext0_MouseMove()
{
if (mouse.IsModeEnabled(eModeLookat)) {
  oHandx.Visible = true;
  object[0].SetView(6);
  object[0].Animate(0, 5);
  object[0].StopAnimating();
  oHandx.Visible = false;
  }
}
