Animation: Databoxes
Section 1.A
The battle scene in Essentials mirrors Generation 3 by default. In these older generations, each battler's databox remains on screen throughout the battle, even during move animations. Here is an example:
However, in newer generations, starting with Generation 5, these databoxes are hidden during move animations. This lets players better appreciate move visuals. This plugin implements the same mechanic with the HIDE_DATABOXES_DURING_MOVES setting, which is set to true by default. Here is the same animation with this feature enabled:
When enabled, all on-screen databoxes are hidden for the duration of move animations. They reappear once the animations are complete. To disable this feature, set the HIDE_DATABOXES_DURING_MOVES plugin setting to false.
