  That is not currently possible.  What interaction method are you using?  A shot of your Settings Manager would be very useful.

  This is the important part of my settings manager. I need to find a way how to play an audio file saying "use key" or "look at door" when the user switches through the possible interaction icons at a hotspot. Most of my players are blind, so there would be no other way for me. I understand, that it is not possible by default. So, where is the best hook to implement this?

  The code to change the icon when cycling cursors is in PlayerInteraction.cs' SetNextInteraction function (starting around line 1281).
  
  This function calculates a new value for the "interactionIndex" variable, which is used to access the correct Hotspot interaction:
  
  myHotspot.useButtons [interactionIndex]
  
  would return the associated Button class on myHotspot.
  
  Now, the currently selected Hotspot can be retrieved through:
  
  AC.KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot ();
  
  And the Button class contains an iconID integer, which represents which "icon" that particular interaction it has (Use/Look etc).  You should therefore be able to use this to work out which sound to play:
  
  AC.KickStarter.playerInteraction.GetActiveHotspot ().useButtons [interactionIndex].iconID;
  
  Will return e.g. 0 for Use, 1 for Look etc.

  Thank you, that works! I guess starting a prepared Action List inside of the code would be the best method?

  Yes - you can call an ActionList asset with AdvGame.RunActionListAsset function - see the manual's section 12.7.
