How to animate cursor only on specific hotspots

[Revonx]

Its basically an animating exit sign, I can get it to animate on all hotspots but I want it to only animate on specific ones i.e a hotspot which will exit the character into another room, thankyou in advance.

I don't think AGS has a built-in function that does this, but you could script a workaround with the help of the mouse.ChangeModeView function.

Sounds tricky, I'll give it a go, thanks.

Ok, there;s actually possibility of doing it.
Via this:


bool exithotspot=false;
//if mouse is over exit hotspots//
//You can do this as well putting it on the exit hotspot interaction if mouse is over hotspot

exithotspot=true;

function repeatedly_execute() {
if (exithospot==true) {
Mouse.ChangeModeView(mouse.Mode, int view);
}
else {
mouse.ChangeModeView(mouse.Mode,-1);//that will stop animatiom
}
}

I hope you get the point

Thanks, but  I couldn't get this to work

I'm not surprised.

Thanks Khris, I checked the threads, but that type of global scripting is a little too complicated for me, I'll keep trying though, thanks.
