hidden object hint system (solved)

Everyone who is familiar with hidden object games must know what I mean. The objects are hidden but when you click the hint button it shows the first object you are looking for. Usually by placing some kind of halo around where the object is.

I'm having trouble with making this and I've ran out of ideas on how to accomplish it.

the main problem is that every hidden object room has a different number of objects. Plus the hint button is on a GUI and the objects obviously don't work together with the global script.

I've tried using dynamic variables
Arrays And Custom properties.

But I'm running from one problem into another.

Some help please  :)

Room.ObjectCount will tell you the number of objects in the current room.

To access them, use the object[] array.

and you can use the CallRoomScript(...) function with the on_call event to start the hint procedure.
Life is like an adventure without the pixel hunts.
