I don't get it

You have to press the scope button every time you shoot. Hassle, I think.
I don't see the point.

[Silvers]

It was a request, you don't have to use.

[mathilde]

Ahh. Got my hopes up when I thought the plugin removes crosshair when scoped.
My bad.

There's this bug that if you open scope and immidiately shoot, the unscope doesn't happen. You need to wait approx. a second after opening the scope to make the plugin work. Same case if you start shooting real fast.


Also, not related to the plugin. When you shoot while scoped, your scope view doesn't move as it should when you reload the bolt action after each shot (but the flashlight does). This is how the game works, any chance we could do something about this too?

Seems like calling it to unscope whilst scoping starts doesn't work.

I'm guessing the CSS bolt action is broken? This is something that should be taken up with Valve and fixed by them. Changing the clients view from the server side would be very laggy looking, something I won't be looking into.

That was fast. About the scope not moving naturally (while the flashlight does) during the bolt action reload after each shot, is indeed how valve programmed it. This issue is present with all bolt action snipers (AWP, Scout...). This plugin completely bypasses the issue.

However, I have another suggestion, if possible, to have the sniper re-scope after the bolt-action is performed after each shot. For example, ADS --> Shoot --> Unscope --> reload bolt-action --> Rescope.
(while also blocking the scope input during bolt action is being performed, to prevent sudden manual rescoping by the player).

There's a bug on this unlike the previous version 1.2a. When you do a quick scope, the zoom is stuck when changing into secondary pistols

Thanks should be fixed.

1.5 (26-Jun-2021)
    - Fixed rescope feature adding zoom when changing weapon straight after. Thanks to "Iizuka07" for reporting.
