Problem with hotspots (yes, i am new)

[Saint]

I am new, so don't laugh I do something incredibly retarded (what's new? ) Well, I followed the beginner Tutorial, and I know how to MAKE the hotspots, but i don't know how to make an action for it...Well, to make it specefic, I made a really cheesy mountain, and at itt's tip i made a hot spot. I want  to know how to make it so when my character stands on the top, he says "Wow, nice view."  (Don't ask why, this is just a test game.

In my opinion, this would be more of a use for Regions. You can have the interactions for that to be when character stands on, say Wow Nice view.

Welcome to our community. I'd take a look in the AGS Help file/manual for "Region functions".

Yes, use Regions instead!

Draw in the region you want and then go into the Interactions for that region.

It's pretty easy to go from there, but if you need further help just post again!

Welcome to the AGS community!

Regions eh? Ok, I'll give it a try. Thanks a ton!

you don't have to use regions!!!
after you make the hotspot, go to its interactions.
Select "player walks over hotspot" (or something like that) then select display Message.

you don't have to use regions!!!

You, of course, don't have to use Regions.  But this type of interaction is specifically what regions were added for.  (or one of the specific reasons!)

It's also more convenient to use Regions as it frees up your hotspots for other interactions!

But yes, it'll work either way.
