hotspots text help

[gypsysnail]

Look! I am sorry if I have to start up a new topic, but no one has replied for quite awhile to my post and I am stuck! Besides that, the previous topic that is about this is marked as SOLVED so people are thinking no one is posting but I AM!!! so I NEED HELP! Here is what I have posted below and YES KrisMUC I have fixed the x and y offsets with numbers, I shall post that too in the code.

Ok KrisMUC I tried it and I got the error message variable already defined and it took me to the global script where I had pasted the code. I still dont fully understand the function stuff. I have copied and pasted below the current code sequence of the things i have already in the rep_exe for other functions, before the code you gave me goes in. I have tried but still doesnt recognise. Now look at where I have put KrisMUCS code in - and it still doesnt work so I know I am doing something wrong and I dont understand WHAT? And getting frustrated at my stupid brain that can't program! So please understand my reasons for starting up a new topic but if thats what it takes to get the help then I will do it and the moderators can alter this to suit the rules if they want, and I can get the help.

I've replied to the other thread. I've been offering you continuous help on this matter and planned to keep it that way. However, I'm no robot and I need an occasional hour of sleep every other day

The code in here won't work since the rep_ex function is now declared twice.
I won't go into this now. Please check my latest reply in the other thread.

Since this is being taken care of in the other thread:
LOCKED

Snail, have a bit more patience in the future. This is an international forum, you can't expect everyone to be on the same clock as you.
