Is there a way to permanently disable automatic ticking of trees?

[vallcrist]

On our game we want fully manual control of each and every behavior tree that we run. We noticed we can add a BehaviorManager component to the scene and set it to manual, no issues there.

However, there are some cases where we play a scene without the whole setup being there already, and BehaviorDesigner helpfully adds a BehaviorManager with the default settings for us. Although I understand why this is a nice thing for most people, we need that to not happen. Is there a setting somewhere that disables this behavior that we haven't figured out?

The Behavior Manager will automatically get added when a new behavior tree is initialized. In this case you should ensure the behavior tree does not get initialized before you want it to.

That worked.
