I'm trying to make some text tooltips for my game where the player hovers their mouse over a highlighted word and they get a little tooltip that explains the lore.
I did manage to find a code on these forums that had what I was looking for, except there's one problem: the tooltip doesn't stay up for very long due to the timer. I want it to remain up so long as the player has their mouse hovering over the word, only disappearing when the mouse is moved elsewhere. So far, I've tried removing the timer, but the tooltip stays up once the player hovers their mouse over it. Any ideas?
Here's the code if you don't want to read the original thread:
