Idk lnow if they can make differences.
Reloading while aiming should just trigger the reload. If there is anything else nearby with which you can interact by pressing the same button (at least on consoles) it should not work while aiming.
On the other hand switching fire mode or ammo should be possible while aiming, too.
There is much to improve at the controls, but please take a look at all gameversions when you do that.
I don’t think you understand what the problem is. The issue isn’t about trying to reload and looting a corpse instead.
The problem is that since Base Assault, whenever you try to aim down sights while looking at something you can interact with (doors, corpses, etc.) you can’t do it. If you’re aiming and you look at an interactive thing, the game forces you to unscope. So if you’re having a fight near a car or a gate you’re constantly forced to unscope and change position. Which is very annoying.
I noticed this too when I was looting a car and later when I had a shootout near a big gate. I wasn’t sure if it was a new bug or something that I just hadn’t noticed before, but it’s definitely annoying.
This appears to happen to happen on Playstation as well when the Square to interact is up. I feel its the same situation over on Xbox when X to interact is up.
Mmh but this has been as long as I can think.
I play GZ for about a year now and pressing square (Playstation) for reloading always opened loot boxes or doors if you were close enough.
I don’t say it’s good like it is, but it’s not new.
It’s the same with opening the build menu in homebases (R3 on Playstation) : you always toggle the flashlight, too.
Thanks for feedback on this. This is probably a useful behaviour in other games where you progress through buildings and need to open doors frequently. Generation Zero is not that kind of a game yet.
If I don’t interact with a door then game should not break aim again imho. I’ll put that thought in a feature request and see if we can come up with some innovative solution that works on all platforms.
Here’s a video demonstration of the problem. I’m holding L2 (aim button on PS4) but I keep getting forced out of aiming by the ‘Hold square to close’ interaction.
