[PATCHED] SAMP 0.3z Joypad Mode

[WatakiWatako]

There is a serious problem with this update!

As you may be aware, setting your SA-MP controller configuration to "JOYPAD" allows a player to lock on to someone. You don't require a Joypad to test this for yourself. Even when using a mouse, facing the general direction of another player whilst right clicking will cause you to lock on. As of 0.3z, the joypad auto aim provides a near perfect aimbot!

This is obviously a severe advantage and I would imagine players who do not play in Joypad mode will be rather pissed off, to say the least! We will have an internal discussion regarding this. Your opinions are a very important deciding factor in how we will approach this, please reply with your views!

It wouldn't be too hard to kick players who have joypad mode enabled, are on foot and are firing a weapon. (Perhaps issuing a few warnings first)

Let us know what you think!

NO JOYPADS, unless everyone wants to use them.

Exactly. If we don't do something about it, everyone will have no choice but to use joypads. I for one think that would be extremely unfair on those who do not have a joypad! lmao

Ban all joypadders and add an exception for Curiosity because he's a cool guy.

I have no issues with people using joypads in general, to move around. Driving and flying can be very enjoyable in that respect!

The new update really sucks to me because of this. Anyone who has joypad mode has aimot and it will be hard to not lag shoot now lol. It was better to me without this update....The best thing what could be done is to script auto kick when somebody uses joystick.

Way to go SA-MP engineers. I say we issue verbal warnings, then kicks.

So far I agree with everyone, and should issue warnings, this is an unfair advantage to us players who have no joystick.

[WatakiWatako]

I've written a quick bit of code that'll warn people for using their joypad while they are on foot and firing a weapon. If they continue to do so after being warned, they will be kicked.
