use a scene element with a hotspot?

for example: the end of cable lying on the ground which needs to be plugged in... ( use cable with battery -> the curser becomes the cableIcon -> etc. ) how would i do that in AC? thanks!

Best/easiest way is to have the cable be an inventory item. The situation you describe might be odd if the cable was intended to "stay put". I'd suggest you make the cable 'loose' and the player attaches it as the interaction with the battery etc.

Another way would be to use the physics method for dragging the plug end along a track. 

There would be other ways to achieve what you are after but it would be more complex than either of these two.

Hi, thanks!

I managed to do it by creating the "cable-end" as inventory item, ... inside the use actionlist: add inv. item, then "select", then remove it to from inventory in one go, did the trick.
