Features
Interaction Indicator renders a "guiding line" and a targeting dot to your current interaction object, so that it's easier to see which object you're interacting with.
It also adds an (optional) interaction timer.
This can be useful in situations such as the Overdrill puzzle, or the bomb defusals on Rats day 3.
Many options can be edited in the in-game menu, such as color, size, opacity. (Color Picker is required to edit the color via the menu.)
The custom interaction circle, if enabled, can be configured to be displayed at the location of the interacted object. (See preview images)
Additional advanced options and values, such as specific x/y coordinate values, can be changed by editing the mod's save file at mods/saves/interaction_indicator.ini.
Planned
- See if teammate interaction targets can be displayed
HUD Compatibility
The mod includes an option for "HUD Compatibility", which is mainly for ensuring that the HUD panel for this mod is created and displayed properly. The option is not enabled by default and must be turned on in the menu, since it seems to rarely cause a minor issue where interactions are visible in the lobby screen or other unintended states.
I haven't had time to confirm compatibility with every HUD mod out there- the only two I've personally confirmed are MUI and SydneyHUD (which just happened to be the two HUD mods that I had around at the time).
| Mod Name | Compatibility | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MUI | Yes | 44.1 | Supports MUI |
| SydneyHUD (fixed) | Yes | 4.2.7 | Enable "HUD Compatibility Mode". You may need to disable SydneyHUD's interaction circle if you wish to use the custom interaction circle from II+T. |
| Warframe HUD | Unknown | 1.6.4 | Last tested 1.0.3 |
| Void UI | Unknown | 1.2.9.7 | Last tested 1.0.3 |
| VanillaHUD Plus (WolfHUD Continued) | Yes | 3.3.7.27 | Enable "HUD Compatibility Mode". |
| PDTH HUD Reborn! | Yes | 233 | Enable "HUD Compatibility Mode". You may need to disable PDTHHud's interaction circle if you wish to use the custom interaction circle from II+T. |
Feel free to comment about compatibility with other mods, and I'll update the list and/or write compatibility patches as necessary. (Please include a link to the mod in question if you do so.)
Issues and Troubleshooting
Known Issues:
- The line endpoint for some interactions may be further away from the visual interaction point than expected. Currently, this list includes:
- Trip Mine deployables
Should be compatible with Toggle Interaction mods.
Please report any issues here on this mod page. If your problem involves a crash, please share the crash log.

Hey! i've turn off MUI interaction indicator for the compatibility. How can i change text ("HOLD [F] TO USE THE DRILL") size? I can only change the timer font size in this mod:(
That text is part of the base game HUD, not from the Interaction Indicator mod, so you will need another mod to change that. Something simple like this would do:
local interact_text_font_size = 16
--change to your desired font size here
Hooks:PostHook(HUDInteraction,"init","xonn_increase_interact_font_size",function(self,hud,child_name)
if alive(self._hud_panel) then
local interact_text = self._hud_panel:child(self._child_name_text)
if alive(interact_text) then
interact_text:set_font_size(interact_text_font_size)
--assume that invalid text is also present
self._hud_panel:child(self._child_ivalid_name_text):set_font_size(interact_text_font_size) --"ivalid" is how it's spelled in the game files, do not correct
end
end
end)
Hook to lib/managers/hud/hudinteraction.
@offyerrocker Hey, i put together this mod, and sent you mod ownership, feel free to accept it :) mod: mod/42802
This mod should work with any custom interaction circle retextures.
Was it working before you installed "Interaction Indicator" (ie, do you have it installed correctly)? Can you link me to the interaction circle mod you're using?
No idea! Try it and report back. If there's a compatibility issue, I'll investigate and patch it when I have time.
A constant issue I have is when I go down and get revived, the interaction circle stays on screen, in certain places, and constantly moves if near other interactions. The circle gets locked in the place it last was when moving away from the interaction. Is that standard vanilla affair or is this related to the mod?
That's a bug with this mod- thanks for the report. I'm working on a fix for this, so stay tuned.
@Offyerrocker Another mini bug occurred when viewing cameras. The indicator stayed there and aimed to where my character was in the cameras.
@Stray Cat Thanks for the report- I'm aware of this bug, and a fix for this is scheduled in the next update.
been using this for a few days with vanillahudplus and its perfect other than when in cameras it still shows the pointer to wherever the cam room is, and if you place a deployable at the end of a heist and your interaction is not finished it will pause the interaction icon and show it untill your payday is chosen and you go back to lobby.
if i put interaction circle alignment to center, the interaction finished circle still appears
Thanks, I'll make another pass for compatibility with MUI. (I'm assuming you're using MUI with the MUI interaction circle disabled?)
@Offyerrocker yes i am using mui with mui interaction disabled ^^
edit: actually it was enabled (that was the problem)
Through my testing this mod does work with Void UI I just recommend that you disable the interaction timer (Void UI already has one) & circle.
Its A Good Mod I Like It i was deleted WolfHUD Cuz it was have a bad health bar for me so i got this mod for timer maybe it can help me
My game crashed when a bot/player started to pick me up. Perhaps this is due to the fact that when you are picked up, an interaction circle is shown...
Spoiler!

Thanks for confirming that! I've written it in the mod page description now.
@Offyerrocker No problem,also when you interact with looking through cameras it keeps the line on the screen till you leave the cams
Got this when attempting to change the dot colour

EDIT: The line for tripmines goes to the end of the beem and not the tripmine itself
Appolagies for the fast fault finding :)
Fixed a crash when trying to use the color-changing option without Color Picker installed- now it should display a pop-up warning instead of just crashing. Thanks for the report!
(I'd also forgotten to properly list Color Picker as a dependency- whoops!)
As for the tripmine interaction- currently, that line endpoint is determined automatically for all interactions, but I'll have to start compiling a list of interactions/interaction units that have strange interaction boundary boxes like Trip Mines, so that I can manually adjust those ones. Thanks again for the report, and please do tell me about other such off-center interaction lines in the future.
@Offyerrocker Happy to help love the mod so far. Will keep an eye out for more wierd line positions.
@Offyerrocker Charging a melee weapon and reloading displays the circle in the last possition it was from your last interaction
For example if i was interacting with a pager and moved my camera, with the interaction circle allignment set to interact target, and it finished with the cirgle being at the top left, when reloading and charging a meeleee weapon its time will appear in the top left.
Hope my terrible describing of a scenario helps, if not i can try and record it so you can see what i mean.
EDIT i am using void ui and vannilla hud +
This happens when void UI's own iteraction bar timer is on and off, will do some testing to see if its an issue with either of the huds and will add my findings.
EDIT V2: This all goes away when disabling show interact timer, melee charge and reload timers within vanilla hud +. appart from this there are no issues that i am yet to find runnign van hud + and void UI with this awesome mod :)
EDIT V3: The issue above still occurs when placing a deployable. (can you tell i like testing mods :) )
everytime I get downed and someone tries to revive me, this happens

Thanks very much for the report! I'll try and fix this soon.
Side note: It looks like you're using an old version of MUI, so make sure to keep that updated.
