I noted that HOVERHOTSPOT still enabled when guis are displayed.
Is there a better way to disable hotspots than this?
hotspot[1].Enabled = false;
hotspot[2].Enabled = false;
hotspot[3].Enabled = false;
...
And how to disable when a cursor points to characters?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Could you perhaps clarify a bit more?
Are you asking why the @OVERHOTSPOT@ still shows when the game is blocking or pausing GUI's are shown? You have to disable it yourself.
The easiest method in rep ex always:
function repeatedly_execute_always() {
if (IsInterfaceEnabled()) Hover.Visible = true;
else Hover.Visible = false;
}
Where "Hover" is the name of either the Label with @OVERHOTSPOT@ or the GUI containing it (whatever works best for your game).

If you mean - disable them all, or certain amount at once, then you are looking for Loops:
int i = 0;
while (i < 50) // since there are 50 hotspots max
{
hotspot[i].Enabled = false;
i++;
}
Don't forget your i++ Crimson. :-D

Argh, I wasn't fast enough :P.
I keep forgetting this, because I use "for" loops in C++, and they have ++ part in the header.
To Ryan:
Hover.Visible = false; works fine.

I got DisableHotspot: invalid Hotspot specified
(http://www.atariage.com/forums/gallery_ips/gallery/album_185/gallery_1196_185_5986.png)
Here the code:
function btnIconExit_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
gIconbar.Visible = false;
int i = 0;
while (i < 50) // since there are 50 hotspots max
{
hotspot[i].Enabled = false;
i++;
}
gQuitter.Visible = true;
}
Hover.Visible = false; seems to disable hotspots anyway.
This could work.
function btnIconExit_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
gIconbar.Visible = false;
int i = 0;
while (i < 50) // since there are 50 hotspots max
{
if (hotspot[i])
hotspot[i].Enabled = false;
i++;
}
gQuitter.Visible = true;
}
Phemar. Your code is not working. I still get the same message.
function btnIconExit_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
gIconbar.Visible = false;
int i = 0;
while (i < 50) // since there are 50 hotspots max
{
if (hotspot[i]) // <--- Doublehotspot: invalid hotspot specified
hotspot[i].Enabled = false;
i++;
}
gQuitter.Visible = true;
}
Please check the line 6.
Oh my.
It should start with 1. :) Hotspot 0 is "no hotspot".
int i = 1;
while (i < 50) // since there are 50 hotspots max
{
hotspot[i].Enabled = false;
i++;
}
PS. No "if (hotspot[ i ])" check is not needed, because there's always 50 (49) hotspots in 3.2.1 (even though most could be unused).
Volcan, could you explain what you're trying to do?
I imagine there's a situation like the character's being tied to a chair and can't interact with anything or something of that sort.
Whatever it is, I'm positive that there is a MUCH better way to handle this.

It works. Thank you.
To Khris:
Nevermind. Everything is fine. Thanks anyway.
Everything is fine, yes, but if you would like the best solution to your problem then you should tell us what you're doing.
But from reading your code, you're pressing the exit button and have a Quit GUI pop up. Therefore you're using the wrong solution.
You want to set the GUI as pause game when shown. That should be the only solution you need. You wouldn't need to disable hotspots, objects, or characters.

You're right. I made a custom Quit gui. Even if the gui has "Pause game whem showed" selected (Quitter means Quit in French), overhotspot is still working and I want to disable it. I will apply with other guis as well.
Ah, so you need a label which displays hotspot name to be hidden when gui is shown?
In such case you may simply hide the label overhotspost information is printed on, and show it again later when gui was closed.
Changing the label? Yeah! I can do that.
Thank you.
That's really funny, I swear I suggested that already...

Always inform us what you're attempting to do because there's generally always a better way than what a beginner scripter thinks they need to do.

I tried your code:
function repeatedly_execute_always() {
// Put anything you want to happen every game cycle, even
// when the game is blocked inside a command like a
// blocking Walk().
// You cannot run blocking commands from this function.
if (IsInterfaceEnabled()) Testing.Visible = true;
else Testing.Visible = false;
}The custom Quit gui:
function btnIconExit_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
gIconbar.Visible = false;
gQuitter.Visible = true;
}The Overhotspot still works.
Buf if I add a code to the custom Quit gui,
function btnIconExit_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
gIconbar.Visible = false;
Testing.Visible = false;
gQuitter.Visible = true;
}The overhotspot is disabled until it's enabled again.
I don't even need to disable all hotspots I thought.
IsInterfaceEnabled still returns true when the game is paused? AGS, you are odd. Alright, try this instead then:
function repeatedly_execute_always() {
if (IsInterfaceEnabled() && !IsGamePaused()) Hover.Visible = true;
else Hover.Visible = false;
}
It works!!!!!!!
I checked all the guis availables. Your code works.
Thank you
