# Movement Configs

> Snap-Tap/Null binds and de-subtick movement input configurations

Movement configs provide enhanced WASD input handling with Snap-Tap (null binds) and de-subtick options for improved movement feel and counter-strafing.

## Movement Types

CSAFAP offers three movement configurations:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Default" icon="keyboard">
    Standard CS2 movement with subtick input
  </Card>

  <Card title="Null Binds" icon="right-left">
    Snap-Tap style input cancellation
  </Card>

  <Card title="De-subtick" icon="clock">
    Tick-aligned movement inputs
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Null Binds (Snap-Tap)

Null binds automatically cancel opposing movement keys, similar to Razer Snap-Tap keyboards.

### How Null Binds Work

```cfg theme={null}
// Null WASD logic (from csafap/movement/nullWASD.cfg)
alias +nullW alias W! W+1
alias -nullW alias W! W-1
alias W! ""
alias W< ""
alias W> ""

alias W+1 "W<; alias W! W+2"
alias W+2 "alias W!; alias S< forward -9999 f u; alias S> +forward; +forward"

alias W-1 "forward -9999 f u; alias W! W-2"
alias W-2 "alias W!; alias S< +back; alias S>; W>"
```

When you:

1. Hold **W** (forward)
2. Press **S** (back) while still holding W
3. S automatically cancels W input
4. Release S → W resumes automatically

Same logic applies to A/D (left/right strafe).

### Null Binds Use Cases

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Fast Jiggles">
    Hold one strafe key and quickly tap the opposite for instant direction changes. Useful for:

    * Pistol round AD spam
    * Peeking corners with quick jiggles
    * AWP shoulder peeks
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Counter-Strafing Correction">
    Corrects the human error of not releasing the initial strafe key. You still need to release the counter-strafe key at the correct timing.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Warning>
  Null binds do NOT provide full auto-counter-strafe. Auto counter-strafe configs were patched by Valve on November 24, 2024.
</Warning>

### Enabling Null Binds

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Crosshair Wheel">
    Press your crosshair wheel key (default: **K**)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Null Movement">
    Choose "NULL MOVEMENT ON" from the wheel
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Activation">
    You'll hear a confirmation sound (blip2)
  </Step>
</Steps>

To disable: Select "DEFAULT MOVEMENT" from the same wheel.

## De-subtick Movement

De-subtick binds force movement inputs to wait for the next server tick instead of using CS2's subtick system.

### How De-subtick Works

```cfg theme={null}
// De-subtick WASD logic (from csafap/movement/desubtickWASD.cfg)
alias +desubW "alias W! W+1"
alias -desubW "alias W! W-1"
alias W! ""

alias W+1 "alias W! W+2"
alias W+2 "alias W!; forward -9999 f u; +forward"

alias W-1 "forward -9999 f u; alias W! W-2"
alias W-2 "alias W!; -forward"
```

The `forward -9999 f u` command forces the input to wait for the next tick ("u" = until next tick).

### De-subtick Benefits

* More CS:GO-like movement feel
* Consistent timing for movement inputs
* Better for players used to 64/128 tick servers
* May improve bhop consistency

<Info>
  Some players report de-subtick feels more predictable for counter-strafing. Test both to see which you prefer.
</Info>

### Enabling De-subtick

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Crosshair Wheel">
    Press your crosshair wheel key (default: **K**)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select De-subtick">
    Choose "DESUBTICK ON" from the wheel
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test Movement">
    Move around and test the feel compared to default
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Movement Config Files

### Default Movement

```cfg theme={null}
// csafap/movement/default.cfg
bind W +forward
bind A +left  
bind S +back
bind D +right

// Visual indicator
alias null_labels exec_default_labels
alias null_cmd exec_default_cmd
```

### Null Binds (Ticker Version)

```cfg theme={null}
// csafap/movement/nullWASD.cfg
// Requires -testscript launch option

bind W +nullW
bind A +nullA
bind S +nullS  
bind D +nullD

alias null_labels exec_null_on_labels
alias null_cmd exec_null_on_cmd
```

### De-subtick Binds

```cfg theme={null}
// csafap/movement/desubtickWASD.cfg  
// Requires -testscript launch option

bind W +desubW
bind A +desubA
bind S +desubS
bind D +desubD

alias null_labels exec_desubtick_on_labels  
alias null_cmd exec_desubtick_on_cmd
```

## Auto-Loading Movement Config

Set your preferred movement config to load on game start:

```cfg theme={null}
// In csafap/main.cfg

// Option 1: Default movement (no special config)
// (leave commented out)

// Option 2: Null binds on launch
exec csafap/movement/nullWASD

// Option 3: De-subtick on launch  
// exec csafap/movement/desubtickWASD
```

<Tip>
  You can switch between movement configs in-game using the crosshair wheel (K) without restarting.
</Tip>

## Movement Ticker Requirements

<Warning>
  Both null binds and de-subtick require the ticker launch option:

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

  Without this, movement configs will not work properly.
</Warning>

The ticker enables frame-by-frame alias execution:

```cfg theme={null}
// Ticker aliases for WASD
alias W! ""  // W ticker  
alias A! ""  // A ticker
alias S! ""  // S ticker
alias D! ""  // D ticker
```

These are called every frame by the `.vtest` script, allowing the multi-stage input logic.

## Jump Binds

Movement configs also include de-subtick jump binds:

```cfg theme={null}
// De-subtick jump (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"

bind mwheeldown +desubJump
bind mwheelup +desubJump
```

This provides:

* Better bhop consistency (128-tick style)
* Tick-aligned jump inputs
* Works with `sv_jump_spam_penalty_time 0.0078125`

## Crouch-Jump Bind

Crouch-jump (longjump) for getting on boxes:

```cfg theme={null}
// Crouch-jump bind example
alias +cjump "+jump; +duck"
alias -cjump "-jump; -duck"  
bind "c" "+cjump"
```

<Info>
  Crouch-jump binds were not removed by Valve patches and still work in CS2.
</Info>

## FaceIt Compatibility

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Null Binds on FaceIt">
    FaceIt's Community Manager confirmed null binds (Snap-Tap) are allowed in ranked PUGs:

    [Official Reddit Response](https://www.reddit.com/r/FACEITcom/comments/1ea2tgz/comment/leim41n/)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="De-subtick on FaceIt">
    De-subtick binds are allowed as they use the same alias commands as other features.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Movement keys not working">
    The ticker isn't loading. Check:

    1. Launch option: `-testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest"`
    2. Config loaded without errors (check console)
    3. Commands in main.cfg aren't too long (breaks exec)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can't stop moving">
    Press the opposite direction key or type in console:

    ```
    forward -9999 0 0
    back -9999 0 0  
    left -9999 0 0
    right -9999 0 0
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Null binds not canceling opposite key">
    Make sure:

    1. Ticker is loaded (check console for W! spam on launch)
    2. You're using the ticker version (nullWASD.cfg, not nullWASD\_noticker.cfg)
    3. The bind actually loaded (type `bind w` in console to verify)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Console spam: Unknown command W!">
    Ticker aliases aren't initialized. This usually means:

    * Missing launch option
    * Config exec failed (command too long)
    * Wrong file path (case-sensitive on Linux)
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Comparison: Null vs De-subtick vs Default

| Input timing          | Subtick | Subtick    | Tick-aligned   |
| Opposite key cancel   | No      | Yes        | No             |
| Counter-strafe assist | No      | Partial    | No             |
| CS:GO feel            | No      | No         | Yes            |
| Ticker required       | No      | Yes        | Yes            |
| Fast jiggles          | Manual  | Automatic  | Manual         |
| Bhop feel             | Subtick | Subtick    | 128-tick style |

<Tip>
  Try all three movement types to find what feels best for your playstyle. You can switch in-game without restarting using the crosshair wheel.
