I have a Lua Script that I am trying to run with Rainmeter. Currently the script runs and I can see my .txt file's one line "Notes" get a Caesar Cipher applied to it, and then the Update()
function will change the ScriptMeter Text
field to match the output Cipher.
What I can't seem to find out is how to call this script on a MouseOver event with Rainmeter. My plan is to apply the Cipher in a loop on the mouse over event while the mouse is over it, and to undo the Cipher to illegible text when I remove the mouse.

Notes
A member of Reddit by the name of /u/GlobTwo helped me figure this out, so I figured I'd post his response here too.
