How to check if player is on hotspot? [SOLVED]

[iamlowlikeyou]

Is there a way to check (supposedly as "function repeatedly_execute_always") if the player is standing on a specific hotspot?
I don't want to do it with regions, because I can max. make 15 regions per room...

I'd say that what you need is Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(int x, int y)

From the AGS Wiki:

Code: ags

 if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == hDoor)
   Display("Mouse on the door");
 else if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) != hotspot[0])
   Display("Mouse is on something (but not the door)!");
 else
   Display("Mouse not on a hotspot");

Okay, so is it reasonable to say:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always(){  
  
  if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(player.x, player.y) == hHotspot1){
    Label1.Text = "on hotspot";
  }
  
  else Label1.Text = "not on hotspot";
  
}

...I mean is this a problematic statement in any way?

No, that should work nicely.

I have this feeling that hHotspot1 will give out an error, I may be wrong, but it may. And question; is that repexecalways function in global script? Cause that means it will run in every room. So thing is you're going to need a if player.Room is kind of statement. I haven't tested if hHotspot1 works, I have this feeling it will give out a undefined kind of error, but hotspot

• works.
  
  

  Code: ags

  
  function repeatedly_execute_always(){  
    
  if (player.Room==1) { 
   if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(player.x, player.y) == hotspot[1]){
      Label1.Text = "on hotspot";
   }
  }  
    else Label1.Text = "not on hotspot";
    
  }

I am putting this in the room script, so it's working
