Where to find it in the menuโ€‹

Movement โ†’ Edge bug

How to enableโ€‹

  1. Menu (Insert) โ†’ Movement โ†’ Edge bug โ†’ turn on Edge bug. Off by default.
  2. No key is needed: the feature works in the background while you fall.

What it doesโ€‹

  • While you fall, simulates movement Look ahead ticks ahead and looks for a moment when a surface edge cancels the fall without damage.
  • Once it finds such a moment, it takes over movement: guides the character standing or crouched, depending on the Mode. In "Auto" mode it tries both and prefers the one you are already in.
  • While edge bug is guiding the character, the mouse does not move the crosshair. If the situation changes (for example, you take damage or have already landed), the maneuver is cancelled.
  • With the Damage-height falls only option (on by default), it triggers only on falls that would deal damage.
  • Landing area: a ring is drawn on the ground where touchdown is expected (green by default). Above it โ€” the time to landing in seconds and an icon: standing or crouched.
  • Chat messages: when it catches an edge, it writes "Edge bug: standing approach locked." or "Edge bug: duck approach locked." to your local chat. No more than once per second.
  • While edge bug is guiding the character, other movement features do not interfere with it.

FAQโ€‹

Edge bug does not trigger.

  • By default it works only when falling from a height that would deal damage. Turn off "Damage-height falls only" so it triggers on small falls too.
  • There may be no suitable edge on your trajectory. Increase "Look ahead" so it looks for an edge earlier.

While falling, the mouse stopped moving the crosshair. Edge bug is guiding the character to the edge and disables the mouse for that time. As soon as the maneuver ends, control returns.
