Reply To: Need help with editable hotspots.

[Péter Baksa]

Hi,

editable hotspots work only with parameters, not variables.

The solution is to use a hidden parameter that is edited by the hotspot. In your example add a parameter named rsp.
Now you have to update any changes the user makes in dsp to rsp, in the parameter script:

rsp = dsp / 2
parameters rsp = rsp

But when rsp is edited by the hotspots, you will need to change dsp. This can be done with the GLOB_MODPAR_NAME global variable:

if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "rsp" then
    dsp = rsp * 2
    parameters dsp = dsp
else
    rsp = dsp / 2
    parameters rsp = rsp
endif

If you want, you can show the value of dsp during hotspot editing:

hotspot2 rsp, 0, 4, rsp, 2, dsp
