Hotspot failure--HELP!!!

[Blane]

  My hotspots are not working!

ROOM 3:

Has a hotspot (Hotspot 2) that when the player steps on it, they are taken to Room 4.

ROOM 4:
Has a hotspot (Hotspot 1) that takes the player BACK to room 3

Whenever my player stands on these spots, the screen fades (As told) but doesn't do anything else, and when I hit ctrl+alt+delete, it says AGS editor is NOT RESPONDING and the game is RUNNING.
WHAT'S UP???

EDIT: see bold text

Hotspots are supposed to be clicked on with the mouse. Use regions instead (see Player walks onto region interaction). But ensure that the player doesn't appear on a move-to-another-room region when he enters the room, otherwise you'll get him changing rooms repeatedly.

If it still doesn't help, post the related script code you put.

But I've always used a hotspot for room change (Player stands on hotspot).\, and it works

Sounds to me like maybe you're moving him back onto the same hotspots that move the character from room to room ... so it's just getting stuck in a loop?

Make sure you aren't placing the character right back on the hotspot that moves him back to the other room when you change rooms.

Check that first, then get back to us!

PS -
Look into using Regions (instead of hotspots) for this type of interaction.Ã,  It'll be beneficial to you in the long run.

Yes, but these days regions play that role whereas hotspots are drawn to indicate the things you can click on. Player stands on hotspot is the only interaction (among others for hotspots) which deals with the player character. It was left intact due to the back-compatibility reasons.
