hi
i downloaded the FOA template from the web and am playing about with it.
i am having a strange problem where i am using some of the hotspots (like the fountain for instance -- if you have the same template you will know what i mean)
and I setup the look and use functions to display different messages
I tested the game but i cannot seem to use "look at" or "use" unless i click on my character when they are standing in front of the object -- if i click somewhere else thats in the hotspot but not on my character it does not work
any clues? thanks in advance

I think theres a thread specifically for this in the tech forum...But, I do use the foa template alot, but sadly I can't figure what your saying out...
even if i use the room that comes with the template i get the same problem
basically whenever I try to do something with a hotspot it will not
accept the trigger unless i click on the character when they are standing in front of the hotspot -- i cannot just click elsewhere on the hotspot and get the event to trigger
for example i wanted to try to display a message when i looked at the noticeboard -- if i click on the noticeboard it does not work, but when i have the mouse over my character and do a look noticeboard (when my character is standing over the hotspot) i get the dialog
..wierd or what
any ideas? -- maybe i have a old template or different version of AGS
