Jumpthrow binds allow you to execute perfect jumpthrows just like in CS:GO, using a ticker-based system that works on official servers.

​
How Jumpthrow Works

CSAFAP uses a ticker mechanic (via -testscript launch option) to execute frame-perfect jumpthrows: 
// Jumpthrow logic (from csafap/addons/multi/JT.cfg)
alias +JumpThrow alias JT! JT+1
alias -JumpThrow alias JT! JT-1
alias JT! ""

alias JT+1 "M1>; alias JT! JT+2"
alias JT+2 "M2>; alias JT! JT+3"
alias JT+3 "alias JT!; +jump"
alias JT-1 "jump -9999 f u; alias JT!"
This creates a sequence that:
  1. Releases left-click (M1)
  2. Releases right-click (M2)
  3. Executes jump
  4. Resets all actions

​
Requirements

Jumpthrow binds REQUIRE the ticker launch option:
-testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest"
Without this, jumpthrows will not work.
You must also use special mouse binds: 
bind mouse1 +M1
bind mouse2 +M2
These are automatically configured when you exec csafap/main.cfg.

​
Jumpthrow Types

​
Standard Jumpthrow (JT)

Executes jump + release simultaneously:
  • Hold left-click (or right-click) to prepare grenade
  • Press jumpthrow bind
  • Grenade releases at peak of jump
// Bind example (set in csafap/main.cfg)
bind "space" "+JumpThrow"

​
W-Jumpthrow (WJT)

Adds forward movement for extra distance:
  • Hold left-click (or right-click) to prepare grenade
  • Press W-jumpthrow bind
  • Character moves forward + jumps + releases grenade
// W-Jumpthrow logic (from csafap/addons/multi/WJT.cfg)
alias +WJumpThrow alias JT! WT+1
alias -WJumpThrow alias JT! WT-1

alias WT+1 "+forward; alias JT! WT+2"
alias WT+2 "M1>; alias JT! WT+3"
alias WT+3 "M2>;alias JT! WT+4"
alias WT+4 "alias JT!;+jump"
alias WT-1 "forward -9999 f u; alias JT! WT-2"
alias WT-2 "alias JT!; jump -9999 f u"
Bind W-jumpthrow to a separate key from standard jumpthrow for quick access to both.

​
Setting Up Jumpthrow Binds

1

Add Launch Option

Add to Steam launch options:
-testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest"
2

Configure Main Config

In csafap/main.cfg, set your jumpthrow binds:
// Jumpthrow binds (ticker version)
bind "space" "+JumpThrow"     // Standard jumpthrow
bind "v" "+WJumpThrow"        // W-jumpthrow
3

Load Ticker System

The ticker is automatically loaded when you exec csafap/main.cfg with the launch option active
4

Test In-Game

  • Equip a grenade
  • Hold left-click or right-click
  • Press your jumpthrow bind
  • Grenade should release at jump peak

​
Radio Wheel Method (Alternative)

You can also use jumpthrows via radio wheel without ticker: 
// Radio wheel jumpthrow (from JT.cfg)
cl_radial_radio_tab_2_text_1 "#CFG_JT"
cl_radial_radio_tab_2_text_2 cmd";+jump;-attack;-attack2;-attack;-attack2;-jump;-jump;
This method:
  • Works without ticker launch option
  • Less convenient (requires radio wheel)
  • Good for occasional jumpthrows

​
Ticker System Explanation

The ticker uses .vtest file execution to create frame-by-frame alias updates: 
// Ticker initialization (from csafap/addons/AveYo.cfg)
// Credit: AveYo for Gaming

// Frame ticker runs aliases every frame
alias W! ""   // Movement ticker
alias A! ""
alias S! ""
alias D! ""
alias M1! "" // Mouse ticker
alias M2! ""
alias JT! "" // Jumpthrow ticker
The .vtest file contains: 
exec csafap/addons/loader
And loader.cfg calls all ticker aliases every frame, enabling frame-perfect inputs.

​
Mouse Bind Integration

bind mouse1 +attack
bind mouse2 +attack2
The ticker mouse binds allow aliases to hook into click events, enabling:
  • Jumpthrow release on bind press
  • Rapid fire pistol mechanics
  • Follow-recoil crosshair integration

​
Movement Reset After W-Jumpthrow

W-jumpthrow uses delayed -forward to maintain forward velocity: 
// Reset movement stuck issue fix
alias reset_JTmovement "forward -9999 f u"

bind 3 +reset_JTmovement  // Knife switch resets
bind mouse_x reset_JTmouse_x  // Mouse movement resets
bind mouse_y reset_JTmouse_y
If you’re stuck moving forward after W-jumpthrow:
  1. Switch to knife (press 3)
  2. Move your mouse
  3. Or type forward -9999 0 0 in console
Moving forward after W-jumpthrow is intentional to maintain grenade velocity. The config automatically resets when you switch weapons or move your mouse.

​
Compatibility with Movement Configs

​
Null Binds (Snap-Tap)

Jumpthrow works with null binds, but W-jumpthrow may conflict: 
// If using nullWASD, W-bind might prevent jumpthrow movement
// Solution: Use default movement for jumpthrows, or bind WJT separately
bind W +forward  // Change this in nullWASD.cfg for WJT compatibility

​
De-subtick Binds

Fully compatible with de-subtick movement: 
// De-subtick jump bind (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"

​
Troubleshooting

You’re using an outdated bind. Valve patched multi-input binds on October 28, 2024. Update to CSAFAP v1.9+ which uses the ticker method.Temporary fix: Type -jump in console (or jump -9999 0 0)
Check:
  1. Launch option -testscript "../../csgo/cfg/csafap/addons/.vtest" is set
  2. You’re using bind mouse1 +M1 and bind mouse2 +M2
  3. Config loaded without errors (check console on launch)
  4. Not using commands longer than allowed (breaks exec queue)
This is normal. The bind uses delayed -forward to maintain velocity. Reset by:
  • Pressing 3 (knife)
  • Moving your mouse
  • Typing forward -9999 0 0 in console
The ticker aliases aren’t loading. This means:
  1. Launch option is missing or incorrect
  2. A command in csafap/main.cfg is too long (breaks exec)
  3. Config file path is wrong (case-sensitive on Linux)
Check console output immediately after game launch for errors.
Use this command:
cl_scoreboard_mouse_enable_binding +M2
This is automatically set in csafap/main.cfg.

​
Alternative: Macro-Based Jumpthrow

If you prefer not to use ticker system:
  1. Use a keyboard/mouse macro for standard jumpthrow
  2. Use the radio wheel method for occasional jumpthrows
  3. Use in-game bind for standard jump: bind space +jump
See this video tutorial for macro setup.
The ticker method is recommended as it’s more reliable and works for both JT and WJT binds.
