Feature Request: Surround object with Hotspot

Hi,

many Adventures feature many collectible objects. Currently is is easy but very clumsy to add the required setup: create hotspot object, move it to fit the object, add highlight to object, setup moveto marker, wire all together.

My proposal is to add a button "Surround with hotspot" when an object is selected. This will place the hotspot at the location of the object (and not somewhere far away as of now), add the highlight to the object, do the wiring and it could optionally even setup the marker but creating it and placing it at the closest possible distance to the object the player can walk on.

Cheers, Robert

  • Nice idea, I'll think about it
  • Any news on this one yet? Would be awesome if the hotspot was automatically sized like the selected object. That saves quite some time.

    Not yet, but thanks for the reminder.
  • It's great to see this is now available! Thanks a million. It already feels much easier :-) 

    Could you do the same for walk-to markers so that they are put in the middle of the selected object so that one only has to move it to the right side instead of looking everywhere for the marker? 

    Or even go one step further and when creating a hotspot surrounding an object have a second checkbox appear "create walk to marker" which will put it at the same spot and auto-wire it to the hotspot!
  • That's a great feature, didn't noticed that till now. Thanks for requesting it and thanks for implementing it, saves a lot of time.

    optional: create marker and highlight object would be cool, maybe add a script to it (rememberHotspot)

    :)
  • +1 to auto-wire marker, highlight and remember on hotspot creation :-)
