Title: Knowing when the player is over a hotspot.

I'm not sure if this is as simple as it sounds, but.

As the topic pretty much says - is there a way of knowing when the player character (sprite) is standing on (colliding with) a hotspot?

Thanks.

I was available in 2.72, but I think it's now kind of obsolete. How about using a region instead?

Never even crossed my mind. Thanks! The only thing that comes to mind as would be nice is if there was a "hovering over the region" feature ala hotspots.

You could also use

Code Select


if (Hotspot.GetAtXY(player.x,player.y) == hHotspot1)

or whatever the name of the hotspot in question is.

Didn't get that impression from the help file, but I'll give that a shot too, thanks! Oh yeah, it's GetAtScreenXY.

whoops, sorry :) I tend to rely way too much on autocomplete.
