BestClient wraps its interface elements in smooth entrance and exit animations to give the UI a polished, modern feel. Every individual animation has its own enable toggle and millisecond duration so you can mix instant snapping in critical areas — like the killfeed — with gentle reveals elsewhere. A single master switch, bc_animations, turns all BestClient UI animations off at once when you need a completely static, distraction-free display.

​
Master Toggle

​
bc_animations
int
default:"1"
Global toggle for all BestClient UI animations. Set to 0 to disable every animation listed on this page at once. Individual toggles still take effect when the master is re-enabled. Default: 1 (enabled).
Run bc_animations 0 in the console to instantly disable all BestClient UI animations for minimal visual noise. Re-enable with bc_animations 1 and your per-animation settings will be preserved.
