Control how many verbs are illuminated (Nine Verbs Interface)

Hello! I've been looking through the forums and haven't seen anything similar, so I made this post.

When using the Nine Verbs Interface, when you pass over a hotspot it highlights the first action possible on the UI. However, I would like to be able to adjust the amount of verbs it highlights, so it can display all of them, zero, etc.

Sadly I've looked through the code but haven't found anything, which is why I'm making this post hoping I can get some direction on where this is happening code wise.

The highlighting occurs in the NineVerbsInterface script, around line 90. Iterating through each MenuInteraction element, it updates the colours based on the element relying on the active Hotspot's default icon:

verbElement.uiButton.colors = (verbElement.IsDefaultIcon) ? highlightedColorBlock : normalColorBlock;

To have this work for each available icon, you'd need to:

• Get the current active Hotspot
• Iterate through that Hotspot's available interactions
• Compare each interaction's ID with the element's icon ID

Something along the lines of:

bool showHighlight = false;
Hotspot hotspot = KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot ();
if (hotspot)
{
    foreach (var useButton in hotspot.useButtons)
    {
        if (!useButton.isDisabled && useButton.iconID == verbElement.iconID)
        {
            showHighlight = true;
        }
    }
}
verbElement.uiButton.colors = showHighlight ? highlightedColorBlock : normalColorBlock;
