How to Disable Target Menu

emptyhanded

Hi,
I have disabled Battle - Target Setting - Target Selection - Target Menu - Use Target Menu
However the target menu still pops up after I choose the ability to use. I even setup a "Hidden HUD" with zero height and width, but all the Choice Info Button for all potential targets still shows.

Is there another switch for disable target setting somewhere that overwrite this one?

(BTW When I search this question on forum and discord, I can only find answer a year or two ago about this checkbox. Not sure if it's a bug or something have been updated since)

Did a quick test to make sure this works - and it works fine here. Disabling Use Target Menu should no longer show the target menu UI box.
However, your battle menu can override those settings for the individual battle menu options (e.g. attack command can use own target menu settings).

I've checked UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Option (#): Ability - Custom Target Menu , nothing is set there.
However it got me thinking and it turns out that UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Base Settings - Sub-Menu Settings - Target Box will also override the Use Target menu option. So I guess there are at least these three places that controls whether a target menu will show.
However, even then I remove setting here Sub-Menu Settings - Target Box , the Target menu still exists, just use the default one in UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Base Settings - UI Box Settings - UI Box .

Not only that, it seems the Sub-Menu Settings does not always work. For example I set Ability Type Box in Sub-Menu Settings but the ability type menu still uses the default one.

In this video, before 01:10, I showed the target menu still uses the default UI Box UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Base Settings - UI Box Settings - UI Box when Battle - Target Setting - Target Selection - Target Menu - Use Target Menu is unchecked.
Start 01:10, setting UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Base Settings - Sub-Menu Settings - Ability Type Box has no effect, while ability box uses the default one set in UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Base Settings - UI Box Settings - UI Box

Did another test with the same setup and works fine here. One thing to keep in mind is that the target menu is still used in the background, but hidden (i.e. the UI box game object should be disabled).

Regarding the Ablity Type Box - this one is used when the ability types are displayed in a sub menu, i.e. using the Combined type display and enabling Sub Menu in your Ability battle menu option. Your setup seems to show the ability types as part of the base/root menu, so that doesn't use the ability type box.

I finally found the issue. It's UI - Battle Menus - (my setting) - Base Settings - UI Box Settings - Display at Combatant.
If this one is checked then target menu will show up regardless of Battle - Target Setting - Target Selection - Target Menu - Use Target Menu
If this one is unchecked then it will not show, but the battle menu will not spawn near combatant any more.
I guess these two settings should be decoupled by design, right?
Also I guess it would be helpful if there's one setting that can ultimately turn something on or off. In this case it sounds like Use Target Menu could very well be this switch.

Ah, yeah - can confirm this happening, and that's not by design :)
Will be fixed in the next update.
