Where to find it in the menu

Misc  →  Movement recorder

Sections inside: Start, Stop, Slot data, World, Panel.

How to enable

1. Menu (Insert) → Misc → Movement recorder. Turn on the State toggle in the page header: the script is off by default.
2. Choose a Slot and turn on Record — then move. Turn off Record to finish.
3. To play it back, turn on Play. By default you first need to walk to the start ring in the world — playback starts by itself.
4. For convenience, bind Record and Play to keys: right-click the row → create a hotkey (see Hotkeys and logic).

What it does

• Record writes to the selected slot every command the client sends to the server: movement, buttons (jump, crouch, mantle, zipline, etc.), used abilities and camera direction. A new recording erases what was in the slot. Maximum length is a little over 8 minutes.
• Trim idle ends: after recording stops, ticks where the hero stood still are dropped from the beginning and the end — the recording starts with the first step.
• Play sends the recorded commands again, tick for tick, and turns the camera as during recording.
• Wait at the start: playback waits until you are within the Start radius of the starting point and moving at the same speed as at the start of the recording. A start ring is drawn in the world.
• Playback stops by itself:
  • On your input — you pressed a movement key against the recording, or jump/crouch/mantle/zipline that the recording does not have at that moment;
  • On drift — the hero moved away from the recorded path farther than Max drift (for example, they were pushed);
  • when the recording has ended (unless Loop is on).
• If the recording was made on another map or at a different server tickrate, playback still starts, and a warning is written to the console.
• Recordings live until the end of the session (until the game/scripts are restarted). Print to console prints the slot to the console as a single JSON document. Loading a recording back from a file is not possible.
• Recording and playback stop when the hero is dead, when the slot is changed and when the script is turned off.

In the world and on screen

• Path — a line along the ground covered by the recording. The part already sent is drawn in a different color.
• Ghost — a marker of where the hero should be according to the recording during playback.
• Panel — a card with the state (REC, WAIT, PLAY, READY), the slot name, and the distance to the start or the current drift. Keys below it show the movement keys being sent (W A S D) and what else is held (JUMP, DUCK, MANTLE, ZIP). The card can be dragged with the mouse, more details: HUD cards.

FAQ

I turn on "Play", but the hero just stands there. Wait at the start is on: walk to the ring in the world (the recording's starting point) and move the same way as at the start of the recording (if the recording started from standing still, stand still). Or turn this option off. If the slot is empty, playback turns off immediately.

Playback cuts off in the middle. One of the stops triggered: you pressed a movement key (On your input) or the hero drifted from the path by more than Max drift (On drift). The reason is written to the console.

Recordings disappeared after a restart. Recordings are kept only until the end of the session and are not saved to the config. To keep a recording, use Print to console and copy the JSON; loading it back is not possible yet.

Recording does not turn on. You need a living hero in a match and the State toggle in the page header turned on.
