[Bug] Multiple Interacts on screen at the same time results in flickering

[Manason]

Repro:

1. Create two interact entities next to each other
2. Observe that they visually flicker, seemingly getting deselected and selected in an alternating pattern.

[DemiAutomatic]

this is with latest release or latest source?

i was just getting normal behavior here. may need to provide repro code

@Manason are you using any kind blocking calls inside of canInteract of these options?

Yeah. That is indeed the case.

After switching from ox_target to this, i get the same effect as well.

Havent touched any of my target codes yet though, but they seem to flicker or add/remove themselves.

Happens mostly with my car's currently as we have interacts for quite a few bones, (doors, wheels, hood, engine, trunk, exhaust, etc)

It has nothing to do with the amount of interact. It occurs when a option has a blocking call in its canInteract

Indeed it was, I figured out a solution to detect what is causing it, if you would like to do something with it.

---@param options InteractOption[]
---@param entity number
---@param distance number
---@param coords vector3
---@return nil | table<string, InteractOption[]>, number | nil, boolean | nil
local function filterValidOptions(options, entity, distance, coords)
    if not options then return nil end
    local validOptions = {}
    local totalValid = 0
    local hasGlobal = options['global'] ~= nil
    local hasNonGlobal = false

    for category, _options in pairs(options) do
        if category ~= 'global' then
            hasNonGlobal = true
        end

        local validCategoryOptions = {}

        for i = 1, #_options do
            local option = _options[i]
            local hide = false

            if not hide and not option.allowInVehicle and cache.vehicle then
                hide = true
            end

            if not hide then hide = distance > (option.distance or 2.0) end

            if not hide and option.groups then hide = not utils.hasPlayerGotGroup(option.groups) end

            if not hide and option.items then hide = not utils.hasPlayerGotItems(option.items, option.anyItem) end

            if not hide and option.canInteract then
                local startTime = GetGameTimer()
                local success, resp = pcall(option.canInteract, entity, distance, coords, option.name)
                local endTime = GetGameTimer()
                local executionTime = endTime - startTime

                -- Track all canInteract calls for analysis
                if executionTime > 1 then -- Only log if > 1ms
                    print(("^3[canInteract Debug] Resource: %s | Option: %s | Time: %dms^0"):format(
                        option.resource or "unknown",
                        option.name or "unnamed",
                        executionTime
                    ))

                    -- If it's really slow, dump more debug info
                    if executionTime > 5 then
                        print("^1[BLOCKING CALL DETECTED]^0")
                        print(("^1Function type: %s^0"):format(type(option.canInteract)))
                    end
                end

                hide = not success or not resp
            end

            if not hide then
                validCategoryOptions[#validCategoryOptions + 1] = option
                totalValid = totalValid + 1
            end
        end

        if #validCategoryOptions > 0 then
            validOptions[category] = validCategoryOptions
        end
    end

    local hideCompletely = hasGlobal and not hasNonGlobal and totalValid == 0

    if totalValid == 0 then
        return nil, nil, hideCompletely
    end

    return validOptions, totalValid, hideCompletely
end
