Anti silent aim

weapons.silent_aimbothBetaDefault: log

The player hits targets they were not aiming at.

How ByteAC finds it

Two checks, both only for hits the server saw itself from this shooter on this victim. Crosshair: the shooter's game measures how far the crosshair pointed from the victim at the moment of the hit; 25 degrees or more counts. Body: for hits more than 15 m away, the server checks whether the victim stood behind the shooter's body. Shotguns, fists and shots from vehicles are skipped. The first two counted hits within a minute are only logged; the third gets the action set here.

Checked in the player's game and on the server.

What the numbers mean

These are the values shown under the detection in the Threat feed and on the player page.

crosshairOff
Crosshair check: degrees between where the crosshair pointed and the closest body part of the victim. 0 = dead on. A normal hit is under 5.
aiming
Crosshair check: true = the shooter was aiming down sights at that moment.
dot
Direction check from -1 to 1: 1 = target straight in front of the shooter's body, 0 = exactly to the side, -1 = straight behind. Below -0.2 means behind the body.
distance
Metres to the target.
hits
Counted off-aim hits within the last minute (1, 2, 3...). The action only applies from 3.
weapon
GTA weapon hash of the weapon used, as a number. 2725352035 = WEAPON_UNARMED (fists). Use the Hash lookup page for others; custom (add-on) weapons will not be in the list.
damage
Damage the game reported for this hit (GTA health points; a player has 100 usable HP above the 100 of a downed ped, plus up to 100 armor).
held
Only on records from older ByteAC versions: the weapon in the shooter's hand.
source
Where the check ran: "client" = the ByteAC script inside the player's game reported it, "server" = the server measured it itself. Server measurements cannot be faked by the player.

Can also be caused by

One or two hits: lag between the players, or the body turning while the crosshair stays. That is why only three within a minute count.

What to do

Ban is reasonable once you have seen it on Log for a few days. Records with crosshairOff are much stronger than records with only dot.

The action (Off, Log, Kick, Ban) is set per detection on the Protection page. It only applies when Enforcement is on Custom. See Actions, modes & numbers.
