Sensitivity Configuration

Configure your sensitivity settings for proper auto line-up functionality in the CSAFAP Config Package

The CSAFAP Config Package requires you to set your sensitivity at the top of csafap/MAIN.cfg for auto line-ups to work correctly. This is crucial because the yaw/pitch calculations depend on your exact sensitivity values.

Setting Your Sensitivity

You MUST set your sensitivity before using auto line-ups. The default values (1.0 sensitivity, 0.022 m_yaw) will not match your playing sensitivity.

Location in MAIN.cfg

At the top of csafap/MAIN.cfg, you’ll find this line:

// ❗❗❗ EDIT NEXT LINE ▼ to use YOUR own SENSITIVITY ❗❗❗
alias resetsens "sensitivity 1.0 ; m_yaw 0.022 ; sensitivity_y_scale 1"

Configuration Parameters

The resetsens alias contains three important parameters:

sensitivity

Your horizontal mouse sensitivity. This is the main sensitivity value you use for playing.

Example:

alias resetsens "sensitivity 2.5 ; m_yaw 0.022 ; sensitivity_y_scale 1"

m_yaw

The horizontal mouse sensitivity multiplier. Default is 0.022 for most players.

Default:

m_yaw 0.022

Most players should keep m_yaw at the default value of 0.022 unless you have specifically customized this setting.

sensitivity_y_scale

The vertical sensitivity scale relative to horizontal. Default is 1 (same as horizontal).

Example with custom Y-scale:

alias resetsens "sensitivity 2.5 ; m_yaw 0.022 ; sensitivity_y_scale 0.8"

How to Set Your Sensitivity

1. Find your current sensitivity

   Open the CS2 console and type sensitivity to see your current value:

   sensitivity
   "sensitivity" = "1.5"
   
2. Check m_yaw (optional)

   Type m_yaw in console to verify your horizontal sensitivity multiplier:

   m_yaw
   "m_yaw" = "0.022"
   

   Most players use the default 0.022 value.

3. Check sensitivity_y_scale (optional)

   Type sensitivity_y_scale in console:

   sensitivity_y_scale
   "sensitivity_y_scale" = "1.0"
   

   Default is 1.0 (vertical = horizontal).

4. Edit MAIN.cfg

   Open csafap/MAIN.cfg and update line 6 with your values:

   alias resetsens "sensitivity 1.5 ; m_yaw 0.022 ; sensitivity_y_scale 1"
   
5. Save and reload

   Save the file and reload the config by typing exec csafap/main in console.

Why Sensitivity Matters

Auto line-ups use the yaw and pitch commands to automatically aim at precise angles. These commands calculate movement based on your sensitivity:

// Example from mirage.cfg - instant window smoke from spawn 1
alias mir_smoke_1_1_x "yaw 7544.444 1 1"
alias mir_smoke_1_1_y "pitch 2726.65663545 1 1"

The yaw/pitch values are calculated using the formula:

$$X = \frac{a}{s \times m\_yaw}$$

Where:

• X = desired yaw/pitch value
• a = angle to move (in degrees)
• s = your sensitivity
• m_yaw = horizontal sensitivity multiplier (0.022)

If your sensitivity is not set correctly, auto line-ups will aim at the wrong angles and your smokes will miss their targets.

Custom Y-Scale Support

Since version 2.18, the config package supports custom sensitivity_y_scale values. If you use different vertical and horizontal sensitivities, make sure to set this value correctly.

Example for lower vertical sensitivity:

alias resetsens "sensitivity 2.0 ; m_yaw 0.022 ; sensitivity_y_scale 0.85"

Troubleshooting

Auto line-ups are aiming wrong

Problem: Smokes are missing their targets or aiming 180° in the wrong direction.

Solution: Double-check your sensitivity settings in MAIN.cfg. Make sure they match your actual in-game sensitivity.

Sensitivity changes during auto line-ups

Problem: Sensitivity stays at 1.0 after using auto line-ups.

Solution: This means your resetsens alias is not configured with your actual sensitivity. Update line 6 in MAIN.cfg.

Vertical aim is off

Problem: Horizontal aim is correct but vertical aim is wrong.

Solution: Check your sensitivity_y_scale value and update it in the resetsens alias.
