Title: Regarding @OVERHOTSPOT@ vs GetLocationName
Post by: monkey0506 on Tue 17/08/2004 02:11:08
There's been a lot of talk about using @OVERHOTSPOT@ on a label versus using GetLocationName for a LucasArts style statusbar. I have a question about this. Is @OVERHOTSPOT@ capable of displaying the names of characters and objects? Because it would kind of be a hassle to have to add hotspots everywhere that there is an object or character. Just wondering...

Yes, @OVERHOTSPOT@ will show the name of the character of item you move your mouse over.
