display text in dialogue textbox on imagemap screen

[REDREDSWAP]

hello!!

i'm currently working on my inventory screen and i want to text to show in the textbox when the user hovers over the possible items in the inventory. first, i tried tooltips and it didn't do anything at all :/ and now, i tried infobox and setscreenvariable and it doesn't do anything at all too. here's a vague idea on how i plan to set my screens:

Code: Select all

screen inventory:

    add "drawer.png"

screen blush:

    default infobox = "My friends"

    if blush in items:

        imagemap:
            ground "blush.png"
            hover "blushhover.png"
            alpha True

            hotspot (309, 400, 118, 224) hovered SetScreenVariable("infobox", "blush") action Jump("blush")

ideally, it would roughly look like this when the item is hovered:

in my game, when needed, i show the inventory screen and call the screen for the item

Code: Select all

 $ items.append(blush)

    "Yay I got some!"

    show screen inventory
    call screen blush
    with fade

    "i like it"

    return

thank you so much for your help!
