Thanks for the helpful replies! I think I'll use the teleportation of players to a new room, as I'll have to tackle this problem (probably) multiple times, and only have to hide the player(s), not all objects etc.

[fade a screen to black]

Either, the answer to my problem is really simple, or deceptively difficult but...

I want to fade a screen to black, and have some speech / dialogue showing over (above?) the black screen.

When I  use the FadeIn- or FadeOut-functions, the text doesn't show. I think it has to do something with the baselines of messages being lower than the fade.

Are there any workarounds / ways to implement this?

Thank you very much! Works like a charm (I had to solve some other problems first before I could continue with this one XD)

[would like to display a standard message when it's used with most hotspots,]

Hiya, Noob here
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm missing the search terms...

I have an item, a pair of scissors, and would like to display a standard message when it's used with most hotspots, like "This doesn't need a haircut" or "no running (through) with scissors".

I could use the "Use inventory on hotspot" function, but I'd have to do this for every hotspot, which I don't want to.

Is there an easier way to do this?
