If you’re building a system that uses an aim lock config file with hot-reload:

Most official game engines do not have native aim lock functions. However, cheat developers exploit certain vulnerabilities:

Not all aim lock features are cheats. Hot-reloading shines in:

Behind the scenes, hot-reloading is a simple but elegant loop:

A typical hot-reload implementation in pseudocode:

class AimLock:
    def __init__(self):
        self.config = load_config("aim_config.json")
        start_file_watcher(self.on_config_changed)
def on_config_changed(self):
    new_config = load_config("aim_config.json")
    if new_config != self.config:
        self.config = new_config
        self.update_aim_parameters()
        log("Config hot-reloaded at runtime")
