  Sorry, I seem to be notoriously figuring out my own issues moments after posting my questions! I don't mean to be clogging up the forums.

  Solution: The node I was looking for was "on mouse down" and then insert the hotspot object (or any object with a box collider) into the object slot of that node.

  That'll work for general Hotspot detection - but it'll ignore things such as AC's internal "game state", meaning it'll work also while in e.g. a cutscene, when such gameplay should be blocked.

  This may be enough for your purposes, but the way I'd approach this would be to leave AC to handle the Hotspot interactions, but instead of assigning ActionLists, attach a custom script that triggers an attached ScriptMachine's event when interacted with.

  Something along these lines:

  using UnityEngine;
  using Unity.VisualScripting
  using AC;
  
  public class ScriptMachineInteraction : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      public string eventName;
  
      private void OnEnable () { EventManager.OnHotspotInteract += OnHotspotInteract; }
      private void OnDisable () { EventManager.OnHotspotInteract -= OnHotspotInteract; }
  
      private void OnHotspotInteract (Hotspot hotspot, AC.Button button)
      {
          if (hotspot.gameObject == gameObject)
          {
              hotspot.GetComponent<ScriptMachine> ().SendCustomEvent (eventName);
          }
      }
  
  }

  Thanks for the reply and for helping me troubleshoot! I'll see how this method works.
