Jumpthrow Binds

CS:GO-style jumpthrow and W-jumpthrow binds using ticker mechanics

Jumpthrow binds allow you to execute perfect jumpthrows just like in CS:GO, using a ticker-based system that works on official servers.

How Jumpthrow Works

CSAFAP uses a ticker mechanic (via -testscript launch option) to execute frame-perfect jumpthrows:

// Jumpthrow logic (from csafap/addons/multi/JT.cfg)
alias +JumpThrow alias JT! JT+1
alias -JumpThrow alias JT! JT-1
alias JT! ""

alias JT+1 "M1>; alias JT! JT+2"
alias JT+2 "M2>; alias JT! JT+3"
alias JT+3 "alias JT!; +jump"
alias JT-1 "jump -9999 f u; alias JT!"

This creates a sequence that:

1. Releases left-click (M1)
2. Releases right-click (M2)
3. Executes jump
4. Resets all actions

Requirements

Jumpthrow binds REQUIRE the ticker launch option:

-testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest"

Without this, jumpthrows will not work.

You must also use special mouse binds:

bind mouse1 +M1
bind mouse2 +M2

These are automatically configured when you exec csafap/main.cfg.

Jumpthrow Types

Standard Jumpthrow (JT)

Executes jump + release simultaneously:

• Hold left-click (or right-click) to prepare grenade
• Press jumpthrow bind
• Grenade releases at peak of jump

// Bind example (set in csafap/main.cfg)
bind "space" "+JumpThrow"

W-Jumpthrow (WJT)

Adds forward movement for extra distance:

• Hold left-click (or right-click) to prepare grenade
• Press W-jumpthrow bind
• Character moves forward + jumps + releases grenade

// W-Jumpthrow logic (from csafap/addons/multi/WJT.cfg)
alias +WJumpThrow alias JT! WT+1
alias -WJumpThrow alias JT! WT-1

alias WT+1 "+forward; alias JT! WT+2"
alias WT+2 "M1>; alias JT! WT+3"
alias WT+3 "M2>;alias JT! WT+4"
alias WT+4 "alias JT!;+jump"
alias WT-1 "forward -9999 f u; alias JT! WT-2"
alias WT-2 "alias JT!; jump -9999 f u"

Bind W-jumpthrow to a separate key from standard jumpthrow for quick access to both.

Setting Up Jumpthrow Binds

1. Add Launch Option

   Add to Steam launch options:

   -testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest"
   
2. Configure Main Config

   In csafap/main.cfg, set your jumpthrow binds:

   // Jumpthrow binds (ticker version)
   bind "space" "+JumpThrow"     // Standard jumpthrow
   bind "v" "+WJumpThrow"        // W-jumpthrow
   
3. Load Ticker System

   The ticker is automatically loaded when you exec csafap/main.cfg with the launch option active

4. Test In-Game

   • Equip a grenade
   • Hold left-click or right-click
   • Press your jumpthrow bind
   • Grenade should release at jump peak

Radio Wheel Method (Alternative)

You can also use jumpthrows via radio wheel without ticker:

// Radio wheel jumpthrow (from JT.cfg)
cl_radial_radio_tab_2_text_1 "#CFG_JT"
cl_radial_radio_tab_2_text_2 cmd";+jump;-attack;-attack2;-attack;-attack2;-jump;-jump;

This method:

• Works without ticker launch option
• Less convenient (requires radio wheel)
• Good for occasional jumpthrows

Ticker System Explanation

The ticker uses .vtest file execution to create frame-by-frame alias updates:

// Ticker initialization (from csafap/addons/AveYo.cfg)
// Credit: AveYo for Gaming

// Frame ticker runs aliases every frame
alias W! ""   // Movement ticker
alias A! ""
alias S! ""
alias D! ""
alias M1! "" // Mouse ticker
alias M2! ""
alias JT! "" // Jumpthrow ticker

The .vtest file contains:

exec csafap/addons/loader

And loader.cfg calls all ticker aliases every frame, enabling frame-perfect inputs.

Mouse Bind Integration

Standard Mouse (No Ticker Features)

bind mouse1 +attack
bind mouse2 +attack2

The ticker mouse binds allow aliases to hook into click events, enabling:

• Jumpthrow release on bind press
• Rapid fire pistol mechanics
• Follow-recoil crosshair integration

Movement Reset After W-Jumpthrow

W-jumpthrow uses delayed -forward to maintain forward velocity:

// Reset movement stuck issue fix
alias reset_JTmovement "forward -9999 f u"

bind 3 +reset_JTmovement  // Knife switch resets
bind mouse_x reset_JTmouse_x  // Mouse movement resets
bind mouse_y reset_JTmouse_y

If you’re stuck moving forward after W-jumpthrow:

1. Switch to knife (press 3)
2. Move your mouse
3. Or type forward -9999 0 0 in console

Moving forward after W-jumpthrow is intentional to maintain grenade velocity. The config automatically resets when you switch weapons or move your mouse.

Compatibility with Movement Configs

Null Binds (Snap-Tap)

Jumpthrow works with null binds, but W-jumpthrow may conflict:

// If using nullWASD, W-bind might prevent jumpthrow movement
// Solution: Use default movement for jumpthrows, or bind WJT separately
bind W +forward  // Change this in nullWASD.cfg for WJT compatibility

De-subtick Binds

Fully compatible with de-subtick movement:

// De-subtick jump bind (from desubtickWASD.cfg)
alias +desubJump "alias J! J+1"
alias -desubJump "alias J! J-1"
alias J! ""

alias J+1 "alias J! J+2"
alias J+2 "alias J!; jump -9999 f u; +jump"
alias J-1 "jump -9999 f u; alias J! J-2"
alias J-2 "alias J!; -jump"

Troubleshooting

Can't jump after using jumpthrow

You’re using an outdated bind. Valve patched multi-input binds on October 28, 2024. Update to CSAFAP v1.9+ which uses the ticker method.

Temporary fix: Type -jump in console (or jump -9999 0 0)

Jumpthrow not executing

Check:

1. Launch option -testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest" is set
2. You’re using bind mouse1 +M1 and bind mouse2 +M2
3. Config loaded without errors (check console on launch)
4. Not using commands longer than allowed (breaks exec queue)

Stuck moving forward after W-jumpthrow

This is normal. The bind uses delayed -forward to maintain velocity. Reset by:

• Pressing 3 (knife)
• Moving your mouse
• Typing forward -9999 0 0 in console

Console spam: Unknown command W!

The ticker aliases aren’t loading. This means:

1. Launch option is missing or incorrect
2. A command in csafap/main.cfg is too long (breaks exec)
3. Config file path is wrong (case-sensitive on Linux)

Check console output immediately after game launch for errors.

Right-click doesn't work on scoreboard

Use this command:

cl_scoreboard_mouse_enable_binding +M2

This is automatically set in csafap/main.cfg.

Alternative: Macro-Based Jumpthrow

If you prefer not to use ticker system:

1. Use a keyboard/mouse macro for standard jumpthrow
2. Use the radio wheel method for occasional jumpthrows
3. Use in-game bind for standard jump: bind space +jump

See this video tutorial for macro setup.

The ticker method is recommended as it’s more reliable and works for both JT and WJT binds.
