in the game, drops are collected with the button z
so i find it a bit of a hassle going around picking items
so i made a script to spam z's everywhere i walk around
(with a toggle of course, so you won't see me saying zzzzzzzzz lol)
is it illegal to do so?

and some technical questions
will the script cause a certain player to overload the server?
i mean, my script goes a 'z' at a hundredth of a second lol

I agree that it's a hassle.

will the script cause a certain player to overload the server?

No, but the server has a protection against too many packets coming in at once from a client. I believe that rate-limiter will kick you off. (kick, not ban, so you can just reconnect).

alright, thanks for the info. so i believe its not illegal (at least, for the moment)?

As far as I remember, what really happens when you push the Pick-up key is that the client sends a "I pick this up" message to the server for every item in pickup range. So when there are no items around, no messages are sent to the server.

It's not illegal. I've done it. Try it.
