Yet, somehow, upon double-clicking RMB with the "Raise modifier" being the only function bound to it, ADS would activate for a split second and then aim would be dropped entirely

This occurs when 'Raise Modifier' and 'Eye Focus' are bound to the same key. When your weapon is raised (in hip fire stance), the Eye Focus function seems switch you between hip fire and ADS - possibly an undocumented feature. In the case above it's happening for a split second due to the double-click.

I think DayZ devs need to re-work these "Raise Modifier", "Eye Focus" and "Toggle Aiming Down Sights" functions. Every modern FPS - especially those built on UE4/5 - offer players a switch to either "toggle ADS" or "hold button for ADS".

With DayZ we're left to craft this functionality ourselves by binding and double-binding opaquely named functions. Arma 3 suffered extensively from this problem; too many functions with ambiguous descriptions.

So, i watched geeks twitch clip, it does not apply to me. Both my combat options are set to RMB (raise modifier and toggle ads) but my eye focus is bound to MB5...and the issue still occurs. I tried binding all 3 options to RMB which actually allows me to aim like normal down sights straight through the scope ignoring hip fire, but then i would be sacrificing my eye focus... thanks

I've managed to recreate my pre-1.24 functionality - the ability to hold RMB and instantly ADS - by completely unbinding "Toggle Aiming Down Sights," then binding both "Eye Focus" and "Raise Modifier" to RMB.

This also allows me to hip-fire by double-clicking and holding the RMB.

Then, in order that I don't lose my separate eye focus button, I edited my config file to double-bind "Eye Focus" to both the left and middle mouse buttons like this:

<input name="UAZoomIn">
    <btn name="mBMiddle" />
    <btn name="mBRight" />
</input>

Note: I hold the RMB to ADS. If you want to click the RMB to toggle into ADS, this probably wont work for you.

Unfortunately and fortunately, I don’t have time to wait for the developers to find time to solve this issue, so I offer my solution to the aiming problem. All we need is to set up simultaneous RMB + focus on the right mouse button. This can be done using different mouse programming programs. I'm very sorry, but not all mice have this and not everyone can understand how to do it. I did this thanks to macros, first I press RMB, and then MMB with an 8ms increment. MMB is the middle mouse button, keep that in mind. She got me thinking. Well, in general, that's all. I've seen the options described above, but they all work poorly. There, either you lose focus of vision, or you need to integrate it into the game code. Or you won’t be able to jump on the usual button.

And by the way, the developers hid my solution; they themselves don’t want us to use it)

The odd thing is, I don't have "Raise modifier" and "Eye Focus" bound to the same key. I have the "Raise Modifier" bound to RMB, and "Eye Focus" bound to MMB.

tonight I made a second bug report about this same issue because I had more information to add to the report and I didn't know how, or if, I could add it to the initial report. Unfortunately it seems to have been flagged and deleted as a duplicate report. But I also made a post on the Steam forums that included the info I wanted to add, so I'm just going to copy/paste it here:

Looking through the files it appears that the "ADS Toggle" function has no string allowing use with "mBRight". It looks to only have a string allowing for controller function.
Whereas the function for the "Raise Modifier" has strings allowing for both mouse AND controller function.
This is what it shows for the "Raise Modifier":

<input name="UATempRaiseWeapon">
<btn name="mBRight"/>
</input>
<input name="UATempRaiseWeaponGamepad">
<btn name="x1TriggerLeft"/>

And this is what it shows for the "ADS Toggle" function:

<input name="UAADSToggle">
<btn name="x1ThumbRight"/>
</input>

It appears, to me, that the "ADS Toggle" function has the command for controller function under the line for PC mouse control. And the command lines for controller support are completely absent, judging by the way that the "Raise Modifier" has two separate entries for Mouse and Controller.

Please forgive me if my terminology and vernacular is way off. I don't know how to code at all. I simply put together this hypothesis using what common sense I have. And I'll be the first to admit that I'm probably completely wrong. But it just seemed logical to me.

(Ever since the 1.24 update I cannot ADS by holding RMB or toggling it. In fact, with some testing I discovered that the "ADS Toggle" function, in the options, does not work, AT ALL. It simply does nothing,whatsoever.

At the same time I discovered this, I realized that if I bound the "Raise Modifier" to RMB that activates ADS as a toggle,and activates "Hip Fire" if I hold it. This is the exact opposite of the functionality that was there before the update.)
