LongPressCtrlToInteract Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2023.09.23

by: Masteroshi430 [More]

Annoyed by Companions, Followers, Seats, Insects, etc interactions at the wrong moment ?

LongPressCtrlToInteract will only allow companion & quest follower (NPCs following you during a quest) interaction if you keep the Ctrl (or Alt/Shift/Cmd) key pressed while using your "Interact with Environment" keybind.

Parts of code were "borrowed" from No Interact by Rhyono and No, thank you! by Garkin, Ayantir and SlippyCheeze.

Note:
The quest follower's name is recorded during the 1st dialogue with him/her/it after him/her/it has acquired his/her/its follower status and the addon starts doing it's magic just after that.
For the companion and the other features, it works instantly.

Fully automatic
Message in chat to remind you the right keys to press to interact with companion / quest follower if you use use the regular keybind alone on them.

Settings:

You can set SHIFT, ALT or CMD instead of the default CTRL as the long press key.

~~Disallow seeing text links and thus interaction with Insects~~ (removed for now)
Disallow seeing text links and thus interaction with Empty containers (which means empty backpacks, barrels, urns, baskets, chests, crates, cupboards, drawers, nightstands, etc links all become non displayed/usable)
Disallow seeing text links and thus interaction with Seats
Disallow seeing text links and thus interaction with cooking fires (outside of town)
Auto summon latest companion after 1st fight without him/her (You have to do a combat with him/her first, then he/she will comeback after next fight after being removed) (per character)

Also auto blocks entering the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary with Mirri & Eloise + center screen notification.
Also auto blocks entering Outlaw's refuges with Eloise + center screen notification.

Isobel also dislikes the enter to the Dark brotherhood sanctuary. Is your addon preventing this too or only for Mirri? Pelase add Isobel then (or change the description).
And Isobel dislikes if we enter an outlaw refugee! Could you maybe block that too? I hope the interaction name or simiar provides a way for that.

Will do.
Edit: Done

The bug i found. So the cooking station on vvardenfell is marked as outside of town, so cant interact with it when i doing writs. so i need to turn off this feature to work in vvardenfell

It just uses the "map is subzone" to assume we are in town so it sometimes doesn't work

It's not the cleanest implementation, but anecdotal experience suggests it improved performance (my game is crashing less often after I made these changes, though I do not think it's the fault of this addon, but rather the age of this PC and the number of addons I have running).

If you're interested I will gladly share the changes I made for you to consider integrating into your own.

I also added the ability to use CAPSLOCK as a modifier because I wanted a "sticky" key in addition to the "momentary" modifier keys. I also blocked several pieces of food/drink that I never intend to pick up e.g. spoiled food, keg, bread, etc. This could quite easily be extended to allow a user to specify additional strings to block, for example listing the undesired strings in a textbox in the addon configuration and then dumping those strings into the hash map when the addon is loaded.

Yep any help is welcomed you can send me a pm

I don't think that's a good idea, the chat spam is a reminder that the addon is working good, sometimes I try to in interact 5 times with something or an NPC and the chat reminds me that I am indeed interacting with my companion.

There shouldn't be a "prompt" for the notice board, what is the language you use and where in the game is that noticeboard with a resource node very close ?

Why do you believe that "There shouldn't be a 'prompt' for the notice board, ..."? If you move a character near one, an Interactive Prompt will be displayed for it. There are some in the main town in almost every Zone, and many have quests for Battlegrounds, etc. -- i.e., not only for Crafting.

(a) I use the English language in TESO.

(b) In The Hollow City, Coldharbour, there is a Notice Board for Equipment that is south of the central pavillion where Blacksmithing, Woodworking, and Clothing crafting stations are located. North of the pavillion, there is a Notice Board for Consumables. A resource node underneath it spawns a Herb which is used as an Alchemy reagent.
