Disable Magnetism.

[H4RDC0R3V1B3Z]

Is anybody able to create or port a mod that does this to the Bethesda site for Xbox, please? That's if it's possible. It's purely .ini settings from what I can gather, so it appears to be fairly simple (famous last words, right?).

 

I don't have a PC, so sadly I can't make this myself.

 

In case people are wondering what I mean, console users suffer (or at least I do) from the reticle being "snapped" to objects and NPCs in the world. Once you see it, you won't unsee it. This is extremely annoying when aiming and enemies are moving around, because it causes you to miss shots. It's more of a hindrance than help, especially if enemies cross paths while you're using ADS.

 

I would be so grateful and happy if 1) this is possible and 2) if some kind soul would do this.

 

Take care!

A bit more information would be very helpful, such as the game you're playing. When you say reticle/reticule, for the sake of convenience I'll call it a scope, for a weapon. Most software has at least one ini file, they are all different for each piece of software. Fallout games are the same. What works in one game won't cross over to a different game. In Fallout what you seem to be talking about is the VATS targeting system. some of this is controlled or influenced by perk cards. Check out these videos on the vats tree, they can help your whole game because they control what you do. One's a bit long.

By not equipping some cards you can avoid over targeting something you don't want.

Sorry, I did indeed miss out some information. My apologies.

 

I'm playing Fallout 4. This post is in the Fallout 4 category or have I put it somewhere else like an idiot?

 

It's not a scope I'm talking about, it's the aiming reticule on the HUD and the mechanics behind using it while aiming. But that part isn't important, it's the game mechanic of what happens when aiming at enemies which is the part I'm trying to explain.

 

Even without using ADS, moving the aim stick left and right while tracking and leading enemies will slow the stick movement down as it nears or passes over an enemy. Essentially soft-locking or "magnetising" to the nearest enemy.

 

It's similar to an auto-aim mechanic that most shooters have and is predominantly for console games (because companies assume we can't shoot using a controller, I guess?).

 

Some people claim this never happens, but it has always happened for me when using a controller. Both on PC (back when I had one) and now Xbox.

 

It has nothing to do with Perks or scopes, to clear that up. It's a built-in mechanic within the game itself, regulated by lines of code in an .ini file. There is a mod called Disable Magnetism here on Nexus, which shows exactly what I mean.

I have asked there about this, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here too, as it's the request section of the forums.

 

Does that make sense?

All Fallout Ini Settings It's a hefty read... :geek:

 

Best bet is unpack it, and start sifting. :D

There are great instructions on how to change and store ini settings from in-game.

There's a veritable treasure trove of unused settings. :pirate:

Let us know what you find! :dance:

 

Edit: Oh yeah, Sorry failed to mention That took the settings from the links you provided, gonna see what difference it makes on PC... :thumbsup:

 

Edit:

Follow up: Added those settings to ini, and not sure if it was that or my character got hit in the head too hard, but "I can't aim fer $hit"! with mouse nor game pad.

Incidentally one was not posted correctly, it needed = sign between string and value. Still looking into it, but aside frm not having experienced "magnetism" I wanted to see it for myself and can't see how either of those two ini alterations will improve anything. :ermm:

I'm on Xbox and don't have a PC (as previously mentioned, hence the request), so I can't test these things out for myself sadly. Otherwise I wouldn't need to ask about a port/upload to the Bethesda Xbox mods.

 

This could be solely a console issue. I definitely experience this on the Xbox and it drives me a little crazy (as I have ADHD and find it hard to ignore these things).

 

I've seen others mention it on various internet posts (think a quick Reddit search came up with a few results), so it's definitely a thing. I'm not alone in my madness, thankfully lol.

I don't doubt you're having an issue.

But trust me; its not the ADHD!

Some of the usability options are infuriating! :verymad:

Was happy to test it to see if it did anything I could use, but sadly... :unsure:

 

Maybe just a console issue, as you say. The answer is out there...

(There's always a way).

 

Now, I gotta go see if my char can aim straight without those settings. :thumbsup:

[H4RDC0R3V1B3Z]

Yeah, it's frustrating. While I don't mind these mechanics being present, the lack of a toggle on/off option for certain things in games always annoys me lol.

 

But there is an increasing amount of this hand holding in Bethesda games, as the years progress. Some of it due to the target audience being much younger than myself (as an example) and I think there are a lot of bad choices during development.

 

But I digress, before I ramble off topic too much! Hopefully there is an answer, as you say. I'm trying out Anti Auto Aim on Beth.net, but it seems to work a little too random rather than constant. Shame you can't get a peek at the .ini lines used, to compare it with Disable Magnetism.

 

The joys of being on console.

 

Best of luck with your aiming lol.
