Add a highlight to hotspost

SnarkHunters

Is there a way to assign a highlight function to all hotspots in my game, or does it have to be done manually by adding a 'highlight' component and then linking it to each hotspot individually?

Welcome to the community, @SnarkHunters.

Through scripting, yes: you can hook into the OnHotspotSelect / OnHotspotDeselect custom events to react to any Hotspot being selected and deselected.

This can either be done through code:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class HotspotEventsExample : MonoBehaviour
{

    private void OnEnable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnHotspotSelect += OnHotspotSelect;
        EventManager.OnHotspotDeselect += OnHotspotDeselect;
    }

    private void OnDisable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnHotspotSelect -= OnHotspotSelect;
        EventManager.OnHotspotDeselect -= OnHotspotDeselect;
    }

    private void OnHotspotSelect (Hotspot hotspot)
    {
        Debug.Log ("Hotspot " + hotspot + " was selected");
        // Hotspot 'hotspot' was selected
    }

    private void OnHotspotDeselect (Hotspot hotspot)
    {
        Debug.Log ("Hotspot " + hotspot + " was de-selected");
        // Hotspot 'hotspot' was de-selected
    }

}

Or with the Events Editor, available in the top toolbar. With the Editor, you can run an ActionList asset each time a Hotspot is selected/deselected, passing in that Hotspot as a GameObject parameter.
