Rainmeter Lua Script via MouseOver event

[Fuzzyketchup]

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 MouseOverAction with Rainmeter. Additionally if I can use a MouseOverAction can I have it call a specific function?

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.

            local r = t:byte() - base
            r = r + key
            r = r%26 -- works correctly even if r is negative

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.
