Mouse over object question.

[Qwentle]

How would I be able to be able to see the name of a object or Hotspot when the mouse is over it ?

[TwinMoon]

Put a label on a gui, give it a Name (for instance lblStatus) and in your repeatedly_execute (in the global script) put the line:

lblStatus.Text = Game.GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y);


(check out the GetLocationName entry in the help file for more info)

Forgive me for asking, but wouldn't it be easier to just use @OVERHOTSPOT@?

[Qwentle]

For what exactly?

Thank you TwinMoon for solving my question.

For what exactly?

There are several ways of solving this problem, and though I have no doubt TwinMoon's ways works excellently, I'll just mention the other one because I personally find that one to be easier:

If you write the text "@OVERHOTSPOT@" in a GUI label, it is automatically replaced by the name of the hotspot, object or character you're hovering over. (manual entry)
