Status gui problem

[BorisZ]

I made a status GUI to follow cursor once it is over a hotspot or object. And it's working perfectly, except it doesn't dissapear on time: for instance,  when I use move character blocking,  status GUI dissapears after moving is done and not before. I am not posting code here because it is standard GUI I got from tutorials somewhere in here.

How / where are you turning the GUI off?

[Ishmael]

Add Wait(1); right after the GUI off command...

[BorisZ]

I am not turning GUI off. It is set to show hotspot/object name and if there is no hotspot, string is empty.

here is the code

string my_buffer;
GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y, my_buffer);
SetLabelText(1, 0, my_buffer);

under repedeately execute, offcourse

You see, your status GUI is constantly updated each game loop in repeatedly_execute. But when a blocking command is underway the repeatedly_execute isn't invoked and thus the GUI isn't updated. Fortunately, a special repeatedly_execute_always function was introduced that's invoked each game loop, even when a blocking command is running. Just add that function into your global script and move all the GUI updating code in there:

function repeatedly_execute_always() {

   string my_buffer;
   GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y, my_buffer);
   SetLabelText(1, 0, my_buffer);

}
