  I've wanted this too sometime ago, and found this code on the forum, is this is what you're looking for?:

  https://adventurecreator.org/forum/discussion/12233/showing-a-quest-marker-on-hotspot

  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class ShowNearbyHotspotIcons : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      public float maxDistanceFromCamera = 20f;
  
      private void Update ()
      {
          foreach (Hotspot hotspot in KickStarter.stateHandler.Hotspots)
          {
              float distanceFromCamera = (hotspot.GetIconPosition () - Camera.main.transform.position).sqrMagnitude;
              bool isCloseEnough = distanceFromCamera < maxDistanceFromCamera;
              hotspot.SetIconVisibility (isCloseEnough);
          }
      }
  
  }
  

  Just add it to an empty GameObject to every Scene you want this to be in, and adjust the maxDistance according to your liking.

  And set the option Hotspot Settings: Display Hotspot Icons to via script only.

  You can adjust the Hotspot Icons on every Hotspot with the centre-point override on the Hotspot Component of the Object.

  So to clarify why I'm doing this.

  It's so when I use a controller I have left and right trigger cycling through the "detected hotspots". The only one with the icon will be the one highlighted/selected. Which I have all working. But I need that "detected hotspots" list to be only what's in screen.

  I only want to cycle through the ones on screen not the further away ones say for a parallaxing scene. So instead of using the collider on player adding hotspots to that list. I need somehow to add/subtract what is and isn't on screen.

  Another thought would be to use the "hotspot detector" collider on player method and making the collider massive so all hotspots are added to the list and then removing the ones not in view of camera..? IDK I'm at lose.

  Sounds similar in style to the "Screen-space Hotspot detection" UI template available on the Downloads page.

  This template uses an invisible screen-space circle (with a distance check) to determine which Hotspots are interactive - inspired by the interaction system of Beyond A Steel Sky.

  It might be that you need to modify it further to suit your exact needs - but should be a decent starting-off point, from what you describe.
