hi

i'd like my cursor to change color, whenever it is over a hotspot or an object and change back to normal, when it is not. how do i do that?

In repeatedly_execute_always, check GetLocationType (mouse.x, mouse.y) and set cursor mode accordingly.

Code Select


function repeatedly_execute_always () {
  if (GetLocationType (mouse.x, mouse.y) == 0) SetMouseCursor (2);
  else   if (GetLocationType (mouse.x, mouse.y) == 1 SetMouseCursor (5);
  // etc
  else  SetMouseCursor (3);
}

(look up help page for GetLocType, and set a mouse cursor type for each type of location that you need)
