Does using BHOP scripts in CSGO qualify a VAC ban?

[ParryHotter]

Hey people,

I had a friend who uses BHOP scripts in CSGO. He told me that using scripts doesn't lead to a ban. I don't use any currently and just wanted to be sure that if I ever use one, I'd not be banned. The script is simple, it just spams the space bar every 10ms.

Thanks.

No, you won't get VAC banned unless you modify core files.
BUT there is a slim possibility that you might get overwatch banned.

Thanks QuantumEntanglement. I'm out of this.

Any time. Just so you know, the chances of actually getting OW banned for that are really slim but it is still technically an unfair advantage.

Wrong. http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/487870763305187495/

No, normally console commands and scripts wont give you VAC ban. However, on CS:GO they have the "Account untrusted" system, which detects certain client-side cheat scripts like aim script, bhop script and such, by analyzing your behaviour from the server side, and then manually VAC bans you. This can only happen on official competitive (since these servers are trusted).
Even bhop functions like macros, scroll binding and such, can be detected this way, but the "threshold" before you get banned is very strict, it must be like a perfect bhop under a long time to get banned.

But VAC itself does not have the functionality to detect scripts that give you a unfair advantage, since for that, it would either require harddrive scanning for passive cheats, since scripts are executed by the game engine and not by some external process, or require modified file detection on the cfg folders, and then you would get banned for just changing the key bindings.
(mw2 for example, have modified file detection on certain configuration folders to prevent them from being modified, like developer configurations and such)

I wouldn't take advice from your "friend."

Theres a slim chance you can get Overwatched. But if you have to change anything in the game that still counts as cheating in my book.

[ParryHotter]

Thanks everyone. I'm not gonna use any and will advise my friend to avoid it, too.

you would only get overwatched banned if you were super obviously using a script like bhopping 6+ times in a row all the time

No, you are talking about the Overwatch and Game bans. VAC is totally automated.

[Sebastian Nielsen]

The Giving One: No. Im talking about a special type of game ban that is called "account untrusted", which then is later converted into a VAC ban. This is a game ban that only Valve server and Valve games can issue.

Personally, i wouldnt script. You may not be banned whilst using it but it may happen on overwatch

He's referring to this:

VAC bans are never manually issued.

Derek: With "manually applying", I don't mean a Valve employee pushing the "ban button", rather, I mean that the official server sends a VAC signal server-side, without that the VAC client detected anything.

However, untrusted bans CAN be issued manually (for example, if someone reports a cheat from the community profile and submits good proof that cannot be faked, for example a CS:GO match sharing link), and those will aswell convert into a VAC ban.
Note that when a untrust ban is manually issued, then either the server detected a cheat (for example bunny hopping script or macro) or someone is 100% sure of cheating. And then I really mean it, 100 % sure, 100% blatant, such as in 100% of overwatchers would vote it as a cheat.

This is OINLY true for CS:GO official competitive. No other game, no other mode. The reason CS:GO "go around" the automated-only restriction for VAC is that the servers operated by Valve is TRUSTED, and thus, when someone gets banned by the untrust system or a Valve employee manually applying a untrust ban, then its REALLY a cheat. Thus they do a exception.

No other game or mode??? If a server has VAC enabled, and you cheat....you WILL end up being VAC banned.
