Not sure which video you're pointing to, you just link to the page in general.

Mouse Pick action on every frame will fill whatever variables you choose constantly. You can read those variables or use them in other FSM's if you make them globals.

I'm not sure if it will work with the mesh renderer off but you can try Mouse Pick with a layer mask to catch the trigger only.

Well what I'm aiming to do is, if you move the mouse over a spot on the image text will pop up and say what it is and what it does.
