HOTSPOTNAME on cursor

[guybrush]

Or try this:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {

Ã,  if (IsOverlayValid(Over)) {
Ã,  Ã,  if (IsInterfaceEnabled()) GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y, Name);
Ã,  Ã,  else StrCopy(Name, "");
Ã,  Ã,  SetTextOverlay(Over, mouse.x-25, mouse.y-18, 100, 1, 15, Name);
Ã,  }

}

Hmm, I've tried that, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
Largopredator, I'll try yours too.

Didn't work for me either. I've tried different versions, even checking the getmousecursor() == 7. No dice.

Guess I'll just have to add the extra lines in every script in my game aswell. It's the only way to disable the overlay during every interaction. That or rescripting the entire thing some other way.

Thnx a lot guys! You've been really helpful.

Oh yeah, sorry, the repeatedly_execute function doesn't run when the game is blocked, only repeatedly_execute_always does.
So just try changing
  function repeatedly_execute() {
to
  function repeatedly_execute_always() {

[hedgefield]

with the _always addition, the overlay only updates when you switch cursor mode. It doesn't follow the mouse anymore. It does remove it during interactions though.

Strange, works great for me together with the code from your first post.
