Last param, "cursors" controls visibility of the action menu as well as weapon cursors. However if 1st param "hud" hides and disables action menu, last param "cursors" only hides it. So you get invisible action menu that is fully operational. inGameUISetEventHandler will still fire on interaction, giving the information about selected item on the action menu even if you cannot see it.
