right what i mean by this is, i have made it to the second room now and i am wondering because my coding:

function room_AfterFadeIn()
  {
  Overlay.CreateTextual(10, 10, 250, Game.NormalFont, 2, "now we are in the game, lets move Ivaen to the box, to do this right click 2 more times and then left click in the box.");
 
  }
function hHotspot1_WalkOn()
{
Overlay.CreateTextual(10, 10, 250, Game.NormalFont, 9, "Great! Now that we have got moving sorted we shall learn how to look at things");
Wait(370);
  Overlay.CreateTextual(10, 10, 250, Game.NormalFont, 1, "right click once to get the look at cursor open and lets try looking at the window");
  Wait(400);

doesnt do a couple of things, firstly it doesnt come up with my text at the start when it comes in and secondly my thrid lot of text appears over my second lot and i am wondering how to solve this by getting rid of the second bit after it elapsed time period finishes and possibly how to solve the first bit of dialgue coming up because it doesnt.

thanks alot=)

i have deleted it now but this is the coding i have put in so when someone says how to do it i can put it at the top.

// room script file


function hWindow1_Look();
{
cIvaen.Walk(155,  127, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
cIvaen.Say("I can see the castle from here.");
}

function hHotspot2_AnyClick
{
c.Ivaen.walk(157, 146, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
TextOverlay = Overlay.CreateTextual(10, 15, 250, Game.NormalFont, 12, "Great! now lets move back to where i was and start talking cursors.");
}

so far

// room script file

function  hWindow1_look()

ive tried this and yet it doesnt show the dialogue box and the comment for it do u know why it doesnt do that?

if need be ill place the script i have in a reply for u to take a look at

thanks for this by the way 

what is the elipses button ? i know this sounds very pethetic but i dont know where it is cuz i looked for a button called elipses and couldnt find it sorry

i am new to the software and i have made my first room etc but i have gotten to the hotspots section and i have been through the manual countless times and i am still unsure why the dialogue isnt coming up when i try the game after putting the coding in and placing what to say into it.

i need help on this matter and would appreciate it if any1 could help
