Prefix cursor labels don't work in Hotspot positioning mode

BowserKingKoopa

This took me forever to figure out. I thought I was going crazy. I'm in "Choose Hotspot then Interaction mode" and no matter what I did I couldn't get AC to prefix the hotspot name with the verb. It was always "Bench" instead of "Use Bench" or "Look at Bench" or "Talk to Bench". Turns out I had to switch the Interaction Menu position type to "Appear at Cursor and Freeze" instead of "Hotspot" even though I really just want the interaction menu to appear on the Hotspot and still have the verb prefixing work. Is this a bug or intentional? Is there a way to get this working?

Welcome to the community, @BowserKingKoopa.

A bug, unfortunately. Thank you for letting me know - and apologies for your trouble.

I will need to look into this properly, but in the meantime you should be able to prevent this by opening up AC's PlayerMenus script and replacing line 1758 (in the latest release):

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty (_hotspotLabelOverride) && ((menu.IsUnityUI () && menu.uiPositionType != UIPositionType.OnHotspot) || (!menu.IsUnityUI () && menu.positionType != AC_PositionType.OnHotspot))) // Needed to prevent repositioning self

with:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty (_hotspotLabelOverride))
