: Only automate bans for "obvious" cheats (like high-speed teleporting). For suspicious activity, set up an alert for admins to spectate instead to avoid damaging your server's reputation. Community Advice

If you choose a client-side solution like SAMPCAC , follow these steps to set it up on your server:

: A popular server-side anti-cheat script written in Pawn . It doesn't require players to download anything and protects against many common hacks like weapon spawning, speedhacks, and teleportation.

: Get the latest server package from the SAMPCAC GitHub.

: Copy all content into your SA-MP server's root directory, maintaining the folder structure.

: If a player has 100 armor but your script only ever gives a maximum of 99, they are likely cheating.

: This is one of the most effective tools as it prevents the game from launching if prohibited mods are detected. It can detect modified .ini or .img files and block glitches like "C-Bug".
