FlashHotspots to flash small labels above each hotspot

ChrisIceBox

Disabled, as in the Hotspot component is disabled?

Replace:

if (hotspot.IsOn () && hotspot.PlayerIsWithinBoundary () && hotspot.highlight && hotspot != KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot ())

with:

if (hotspot.enabled && hotspot.IsOn () && hotspot.PlayerIsWithinBoundary () && hotspot.highlight && hotspot != KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot ())

Perfect.

Is there a way to also only have hotspots flash within player vicinity when this setting is on?

ChrisIceBox

if (hotspot.enabled && hotspot.IsOn () && hotspot.PlayerIsWithinBoundary () && hotspot.highlight && hotspot != KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot () && (KickStarter.player.hotspotDetector == null || KickStarter.player.hotspotDetector.IsHotspotInTrigger (hotspot)))

ah tried this, but then it doesn't work for scenes where hotspot detection is mouse over

ChrisIceBox

if (hotspot.enabled && hotspot.IsOn () && hotspot.PlayerIsWithinBoundary () && hotspot.highlight && hotspot != KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot () && (KickStarter.settingsManager.hotspotDetection == HotspotDetection.MouseOver || KickStarter.player.hotspotDetector.IsHotspotInTrigger (hotspot)))

thanks!!

Hi, is there a way to keep the hotspots shown until the player release the input key?

As a reminder here is the script

            if (menuToCopy == null)

                ACDebug.LogWarning("Cannot find menu with name '" + menuName + "'", this);
                return;
            }
            Menu myMenu = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Menu>();

            myMenu.CreateDuplicate(menuToCopy); // Copy from the default Menu
            myMenu.appearType = AppearType.Manual; // Set it to Manual so that we can control it easily
            myMenu.isLocked = false; // Unlock it so that the default can remain locked if necessary
            myMenu.title += this.name;
            myMenu.HotspotLabelData.SetData(hotspot, string.Empty);

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(labelName))
            {
                (myMenu.GetElementWithName(labelName) as MenuLabel).labelType = AC_LabelType.Normal;
                (myMenu.GetElementWithName(labelName) as MenuLabel).label = hotspot.GetName(Options.GetLanguage());
            }

            myMenu.TurnOn();

            KickStarter.playerMenus.RegisterCustomMenu(myMenu, true);
            localMenus.Add(myMenu);
        }

        #if UNITY_EDITOR

        public override void ShowGUI()
        {
            menuName = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Menu name:", menuName);
            labelName = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Label name:", labelName);
            flashDuration = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Flash Duration:", flashDuration);
        }

        #endif
    }
}

I tried extending flash duration time to 3f but it didn't change anything fyi

A script that allows for the flash input to be held can be found on the AC wiki:
