| I can't seem to get my hotspots to add. I took these examples from the help and still cannot get the hotspots to add. I'm using version 4.35 on a Vista computer. WindowHotspotList is always nil.
WindowCreate ("test", 0, 0, 200, 200, 6, 0, ColourNameToRGB("slategray"))
WindowAddHotspot("test", "hs1",
0, 0, 200, 200, -- rectangle
"mouseover",
"cancelmouseover",
"mousedown",
"cancelmousedown",
"mouseup",
"Click here to be healed", -- tooltip text
1, 0) -- hand cursor
function mouseover (flags, hotspot_id)
Note ("we moused over hotspot " .. hotspot_id)
end -- mouseover
WindowShow("test", true)
-- show all hotspots
hotspots = WindowHotspotList("test")
if hotspots then
for _, v in ipairs (hotspots) do
Note (v)
end
end -- if any

Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens
It's a dumb question... skip it.

| It helps to wrap a function call with "check", especially if you are having problems. This only applies to functions that are documented to return eOK, and other codes. Like this:
check (WindowAddHotspot("test", "hs1",
0, 0, 200, 200, -- rectangle
"mouseover",
"cancelmouseover",
"mousedown",
"cancelmousedown",
"mouseup",
"Click here to be healed", -- tooltip text
1, 0)) -- hand cursor
When I tried that I got:
Run-time error
World: smaug 2
Immediate execution
[string "Immediate"]:2: Only a plugin can do this
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
[string "Check function"]:1: in function 'check'
[string "Immediate"]:2: in main chunk
Were you doing this in a plugin?

| | I'm building the script in my world script file then plan to move it to a plugin once I have it all working. I'm trying to recreate a compass like Darwin's for the mud I play on. Does this mean I need to move it to a plugin now and maybe it'll work? |

| | That's exactly what it means. The hotspot functions will only work once inside a plugin file. I ran into the same problem. | | Top |
