🔥 ox_target-redesign

A sleek, modern redesign of OX Target built for speed and efficiency.
This upgrade introduces optional keyboard-based interaction, allowing players to hold ALT and select target options using number keys (1–9) — a faster, smoother alternative to traditional hover targeting.

Designed to feel snappy, intuitive, and lightweight, this redesign keeps the familiar OX Target flow while giving power users a next-level interaction method.

⚡ Features

• Hold ALT to activate keyboard targeting
• Press number keys (1–9) to instantly select options
• Seamless integration with existing OX Target
• Fully optional — traditional hover targeting still works
• Clean, modern UX
• Uses lib.addKeybind (same method as ox_inventory)

📦 Installation

1️⃣ Add Required Code to main.lua

At the bottom of ox_target/client/main.lua, add the following:

-- Function to handle target option selection
local function selectTargetOption(keyNumber)
    if not state.isActive() or not currentTarget or not currentTarget.entity then return end
    
    -- Only work when Alt is pressed (like ox_inventory hotkeys)
    if not IsDisabledControlPressed(0, 19) then return end -- Alt key (LMENU)
    
    -- Find the corresponding option
    local optionIndex = 1
    local targetOption = nil
    local targetType = nil
    local targetZone = nil
    
    -- Check regular options first
    for k, v in pairs(options) do
        for j = 1, #v do
            if not v[j].hide then
                if optionIndex == keyNumber then
                    targetOption = j
                    targetType = k
                    break
                end
                optionIndex = optionIndex + 1
            end
        end
        if targetOption then break end
    end
    
    -- Check zone options if not found in regular options
    if not targetOption then
        for zoneIdx = 1, #nearbyZones do
            local zoneOptions = nearbyZones[zoneIdx].options
            for j = 1, #zoneOptions do
                if not zoneOptions[j].hide then
                    if optionIndex == keyNumber then

                        targetZone = zoneIdx
