inst.GetActivateVerb

[Fuffles]

How does one exactly use this? I know it must return a string, but I really want to add my own and so far it doesnt really work...

Somewhere in the prefab

local function GetVerb()
    return STRINGS.ACTIONS_SOTA.CLEAN_UP
end

local function fn()
       [...other code...]
       inst.GetActivateVerb = GetVerb
       [...other code...]
end

Somewhere in modmain

GLOBAL.STRINGS.ACTIONS_SOTA = 
{
    CLEAN_UP = "Clean up"
}

And it still just shows "Activate" instead of "Clean up"

GetActivateVerb returns an all-caps string to be used in GetActionString.

You'll want to use:

GLOBAL.STRINGS.ACTIONS.ACTIVATE.CLEANUP = "Clean up"

And GetActivateVerb would be a function that returns the string "CLEANUP".
