Adventure Game Studio

I swear, I have spent HOURS on this.Ã,  Its making me want to pull my hair out...

I have literally spent about 3 hours pouring through the various messages on the forum here, looking for a way to get the mouseover of hotspots to show the text of what they are.Ã,  Nothing is working for me :(

I want this :Ã,  When the player moves the mouse over a hotspot, the text of the hotspot shows up in an invisible GUI.Ã,  I DO NOT want the text to follow the mouse.

I have downloaded the various modules, but don't want to use them.Ã,  I want to do it myself..Ã, 

I tried BOTH methods listed here : http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=26177.0

Nothing worked for me.Ã,  I keep getting errors or nothing at all, just @MOUSEOVER@ showing up on the GUI bar.Ã,  I don't know if it is because I am using AGS 2.71 and this code is for an older version, or what, but its frustrating as heck.

Can someone PLEASE help me with a quick description of how to get a GUI to show the Hotspot Name value in it when the hotspot is mouseovered?

I know this has been asked 1000+ times, as I have read all those posts, but for the life of me, I just can't figure out how to do it...

Thanks.

Perhaps if you change the text to @OVERHOTSPOT@ instead of @MOUSEOVER@ it will work?

SSH was quicker.
Being able to read is a clear advantage, as they say in my country ;)
