Dpatt711 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Pretty self-explanatory, we should have a hotkey to use lock-picks instead of an additional scroll menu option. It should also work on restrained players, not just cars. Edited September 7, 2016 by Dpatt711 Link to comment
Heidelberg Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 It could be implemented, but is it really that hard to use a scroll wheel? Link to comment
Shane McCoy Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's not that hard to use a scroll wheel Link to comment

The scrollwheel lockpick is one of my favorite things that's been implenented. Doesn't need changing when the time could be spent in other areas. BioHazard likes this Link to comment

Huan Lee Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 For me, I haven't lockpicked in a bit but last time I did I only got the scroll wheel options sometimes Link to comment
aleco5 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Sometimes the scroll wheel option doesn't pop up for me until I lock pick the vehicle a few times, even then there are times it wont pop at all. Also for people it doesn't pop up and you have to keep going into your back pack does you not? Edited September 7, 2016 by aleco5 Link to comment

The scroll wheel menu is already over cluttered, and having it a scroll wheel option is a performance hog. It also doesn't work on restrained players. Link to comment

If you did you'd know that your client is constantly checking if you have lockpicks, if you're near a car, if you're restrained, if the car is moving, etc, etc. 24/7. If you assign it to a hotkey, it only checks those variables when you press the key. This isn't about ease of use, it's about performance and moving away from a poorly designed interaction system.

But honestly, we have enough hot keys for everything else. And i prefer the scrollwheel for the simple fact I dont have to take my hand off my mouse or movement keys in case I need to shoot or something Link to comment
