# oth.hook

Creates a stable detour hook for a function, running hooked execution in a separate thread context.

```luau theme={null}
oth.hook(target: function, hook: function): function
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type       | Description                                 |
| --------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `target`  | `function` | The target function to hook.                |
| `hook`    | `function` | The hook callback to redirect execution to. |

## Returns

`function` - A backup function executing the original behavior.

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```luau Example 1 theme={null}
  local oldPrint = oth.hook(print, function(...) end)
  -- Print is now hooked and suppressed
  ```

  ```luau Example 2 theme={null}
  local oldDestroy = oth.hook(workspace.Destroy, function(self)
      print("Prevented destruction of: ", self)
  end)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Tip>
  More stable and harder to detect than standard `hookfunction` detours.
