Hi, I have a list of hotspots that I thought could be cleaned up with an array. When implemented unID = 1 HOTSPOT X1, 0, 0, unID, Len1, 1+128 :unID=unID+1 !Point HOTSPOT X1, 0+Len1, 0, unID, Len1, 2 :unID=unID+1 !Move HOTSPOT X1, 0-1, 0, -unID, Len1,...

Hi Ling, Thank you for your guidance. I am still unsuccessful after all this time with this particular set of array hotspots. Very confusing as to why it doesn't work in the object. I am happy to use the basic multi-line method for now as the object ...

Hi Toper, Thank you for your coding! I am super perplexed as your code works fine for me also when separated from my object. When I try the code in my object, it returns a simple static hotspot no matter what options of code I try using in the array....
