Player Interaction Hook

FISHING_MANAGER.StartInteraction can be used to hook into environment interactions (by default the interactions that begin with the E key). Is there a similar thing to hook into player interactions? These interactions begin with the F key (again the default).

Could be this one:
https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...ayer.lua#L1981

PLAYER_TO_PLAYER is the global and the function would e.g. be:
https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/...ayer.lua#L1850

ShowPlayerInteractMenu(isIgnored)
To get the target's character and displayname you can use:

Lua Code:

local currentTargetCharacterName = self.currentTargetCharacterName
        local currentTargetCharacterNameRaw = self.currentTargetCharacterNameRaw
        local currentTargetDisplayName = self.currentTargetDisplayName

where self is PLAYER_TO_PLAYER

But PLEASE: Do NOT override this function but just use a ZO_PreHook or SecurePostHook (called after original code then) instead.
If you want to suppress the menu to show a ZO_PreHook could be used, do your checks and if the menu should not be shown return true then so the original func won't be called anymore.

Yikes! I thought I replied to this a week ago. I guess I didn't hit the send button.

Baertram, thanks so much for your response. I ended up using a simpler solution that didn't require this hook. But I learned a lot from this.

Thanks again.
