The CSAFAP Config Package allows you to create your own custom line-ups and add them to the radio wheel system. This guide will walk you through the complete process of finding angles, calculating values, and integrating them into the config.

​
Video Tutorial

For a detailed video explanation, watch this timestamp from the official tutorial.

​
Overview

Creating a custom line-up involves 5 steps:
  1. Find the desired angle using getpos in-game
  2. Calculate yaw and pitch values using the formula
  3. Create an alias in the map’s config file
  4. Create a label in the language file
  5. Bind the label and command to a radio tile

​
Step 1: Find the Desired Angle

1

Position yourself in-game

Load the map in practice mode and position yourself at the exact spot where you want the line-up to start.
2

Aim at the target

Aim at the precise angle needed for your smoke/flash/molotov to land correctly.
3

Use getpos command

Type getpos in the console to get your current position and angles:
getpos
setpos 1296.000000 32.000000 -167.96875; setang -35.250259 -148.314117 0
The format is: setpos X Y Z; setang PITCH YAW ROLL
4

Record the values

Note down:
  • Position: X, Y, Z coordinates (for teleporting)
  • Pitch: Vertical angle (first number in setang)
  • Yaw: Horizontal angle (second number in setang)

​
Step 2: Calculate Yaw and Pitch Values

Use the following formula to calculate the yaw and pitch values needed for the config: X=as×m_yawX = \frac{a}{s \times m\_yaw}

​
Formula Variables

  • X: Desired yaw/pitch value (what you need to calculate)
  • a: Angle you need to move (in degrees)
  • s: Sensitivity (use 1.0 for calculations)
  • m_yaw: Horizontal sensitivity multiplier (use 0.022)

​
Calculating the Angle to Move

The angle a is calculated from a zero reference point:
  • Horizontal (Yaw): The angle difference from your starting yaw to target yaw
  • Vertical (Pitch): The angle difference from -89° to your target pitch
Since version 2.15, auto line-ups zero the vertical view angle at -89° instead of 0°. You must add +4045.45454545 to your calculated pitch value.

​
Example Calculation

Let’s create a line-up for the angle: setang -35.250259 -148.314117 0 Yaw calculation: 
Angle needed: -148.314117°
X = -148.314117 / (1.0 × 0.022)
X = -148.314117 / 0.022
X = -6741.55077
Pitch calculation: 
Angle needed: -35.250259°
Angle from -89°: -89 - (-35.250259) = -53.749741°
X = -53.749741 / (1.0 × 0.022) + 4045.45454545
X = -2443.17004545 + 4045.45454545
X = 1602.2845
The config uses sensitivity 1.0 and m_yaw 0.022 for line-up calculations. Your actual sensitivity is applied separately through the resetsens alias.

​
Step 3: Create an Alias

Add your calculated values to the map’s config file in csafap/maps/[mapname]/[mapname].cfg: 
// Instant top connector smoke from spawn 1
alias mir_smoke_1_5_x "yaw -6741.55077 1 1"
alias mir_smoke_1_5_y "pitch 1602.2845 1 1"

​
Alias Naming Convention

Follow the existing naming pattern:
  • Map prefix (e.g., mir_ for Mirage)
  • Type (e.g., smoke_)
  • Spawn number and lineup number (e.g., 1_5)
  • Suffix _x for yaw, _y for pitch
Example: 
alias mir_smoke_1_5_x "yaw -6741.55077 1 1"  // Horizontal aim
alias mir_smoke_1_5_y "pitch 1602.2845 1 1"   // Vertical aim

​
Step 4: Create a Label

Add a text label in csgo/resource/platform_english.txt: 
"CFG_MIR_TOP_CON"     "Top Connector\n Smoke\n  \n  \n  \n  \n "

​
Label Guidelines

  • Use \n for line breaks
  • Keep text concise and descriptive
  • Add trailing spaces and \n to fill the radio tile
  • Use the CFG_ prefix followed by map and lineup name
Changes to platform_english.txt require a game restart to take effect.

​
Step 5: Bind to Radio Tile

​
Add the Label

In csafap/maps/[mapname]/[mapname]_T_labels.cfg (or _CT_labels.cfg): 
cl_radial_radio_tab_0_text_3 "#CFG_MIR_TOP_CON"

​
Add the Command

In csafap/maps/[mapname]/[mapname]_T_cmd.cfg (or _CT_cmd.cfg): 
cl_radial_radio_tab_0_text_3 cmd";fAC;mir_smoke_1_5_x;mir_smoke_1_5_y;mir_spawn_T_1;

​
Command Structure

cl_radial_radio_tab_X_text_Y cmd";fAC;[yaw_alias];[pitch_alias];[spawn_alias];
Where:
  • X: Radio tab number (0, 1, or 2)
  • Y: Tile position (1-8)
  • fAC: FaceIt-compatible auto-lineup mode
  • yaw_alias: Your horizontal aim alias
  • pitch_alias: Your vertical aim alias
  • spawn_alias: Spawn teleport position (optional)

​
Complete Example: Mirage Top Connector

Here’s a complete example for a Mirage instant top connector smoke:

​
1. In-game angle

getpos
setpos 1296.000000 32.000000 -167.96875; setang -35.250259 -148.314117 0

​
2. Calculated values

  • Yaw: -6741.55077
  • Pitch: 1602.2845 (after adding offset)

​
3. In csafap/maps/mirage/mirage.cfg

// instant top con smoke from spawn 1
alias mir_smoke_1_5_x "yaw -6741.55077 1 1"
alias mir_smoke_1_5_y "pitch 1602.2845 1 1"
alias mir_spawn_T_1 "setpos 1296.000000 32.000000 -167.96875"

​
4. In csgo/resource/platform_english.txt

"CFG_MIR_TOP_CON"     "Top Connector\n Smoke\n  \n  \n  \n  \n "

​
5. In csafap/maps/mirage/mirage_T_labels.cfg

cl_radial_radio_tab_0_text_3 "#CFG_MIR_TOP_CON"

​
6. In csafap/maps/mirage/mirage_T_cmd.cfg

cl_radial_radio_tab_0_text_3 cmd";fAC;mir_smoke_1_5_x;mir_smoke_1_5_y;mir_spawn_T_1;

​
Pitch Offset Explanation

The pitch offset of +4045.45454545 exists because the config zeroes vertical angle at -89° (looking down) instead of 0° (looking straight ahead).
Calculation: 
89 / 0.022 = 4045.45454545
This offset must be added to all pitch values when creating line-ups.

​
Testing Your Line-up

1

Restart the game

Changes to platform_english.txt require a full game restart.
2

Reload the config

Type exec csafap/main in console to reload the config.
3

Load the map

Use the map wheel to select your map.
4

Test the line-up

Open the T or CT wheel, select your custom line-up, and throw the grenade.
5

Adjust if needed

If the angle is slightly off, adjust the yaw/pitch values and repeat.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Line-up aims wrong direction

Problem: The auto-aim points 180° away from target. Solution: Check your yaw calculation. Make sure you’re calculating the angle difference correctly.

​
Vertical aim is incorrect

Problem: Horizontal aim is perfect but vertical aim is off. Solution: Verify you added the pitch offset (+4045.45454545) to your calculated pitch value.

​
Radio tile is empty

Problem: The radio tile shows no text. Solution:
  1. Check that you added the label to platform_english.txt
  2. Verify the label name matches in both files (with # prefix in labels file)
  3. Restart the game for language file changes to take effect

​
Line-up doesn’t execute

Problem: Selecting the radio tile does nothing. Solution:
  1. Verify the command syntax in _cmd.cfg ends with ;
  2. Check that alias names match between the config file and command file
  3. Make sure the radio tile numbers match in both labels and cmd files
