[LVL ED] Help with Sign/Examine Areas

[GabrielConnor]

Hello there people,

long time reader, first time poster in the forums



So after some reading and watching of videos on youtube, I have decided to embark on my first custom story creation. And I stumbled upon a little problem that could use your assistance

I have a desk with a pile of books on it. Now I want the player to get a message on his screen when he either moves the cursor over them, or interacts with them. After some digging I believe the answer to that is to create either a "sign" or an "examine" area, correct?

I have made that area, and it covers the whole book pile in a nice box. But for the life of me I can't seem to find what I need to do to get the actual message displayed.

* Do I need an entry in the .lang file? If yes, could someone please help me with the correct syntax for it?

* Do I need some actual scripting to make the message appear? If yes could someone please direct me to the function I should be using?



Any help is really appreciated I looked through the Wiki for some time now and wasn't able to locate this info, apologies if it's there and I just missed it Thanks for your time!
