Aimbot? How?

[Shiizam 0]

Hey guys, was playing DayZ, flying a helicopter when suddenly my camera started to begin to spas out to the point where i was unable to control my helicopter, and I was ready to leave the game and let the helicopter crash and burn with a good old altf4.

Instead i decided to land and When i got out of the helicopter my crosshair locked on to my friend Jacob (the person you can hear in the game). In the clip i wasn't even holding my mouse or moving my character it just did itself. I even wiped my mouse over him multiple times as you can see and it continued to lock on like i had some sort of aimbot even though i still had full contorl over my character.

Here is the footage - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sir8L4AhfWs

The weird thing was i couldn't lock onto any vehicles or the players within the vehicles. Unfortunately we didn't get to test more of this "aimbot" as the helicopter tried to take us out :( so i flew straight into them.

I was wondering if this is caused by the server being on regular? but this isn't the first time it has happened.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? it's not really a problem, i'm just curious to why it would happen.

Thanks

It's nothing to do with the server. It's an obvious case of a hacker "passing on" their "powers" onto another player.

It'll probably show up in the server logs, but it shouldn't get you banned. (Or not, since you aren't actually doing anything besides changing your rotation?) BattlEye bans are instant, so you'd already know if you were in trouble.

A hacker/scripter took control of your character

Interesting because the server only had 3-4 people in it, one being the admin and his friend.

Thanks for explaining it, lets hope i don't get banned D:

Like mentioned before, BattlEye bans are instant. You would've already received a ban if you were going to get one at all.

BattlEye has confirmed though, that you can't get banned by hackers using remote-scripts on you. (Such as changing your inventory, spawning boxes through/around you, or dropping hacked-in weapons for you to use.)
