How this page is sourced

Sourced from vendor documentation, plus field names and tooltips read from the scenario editor in September 2026. Checked against its sources. Not yet reviewed by a person.

An ability is a movement, melee, sprint or recall action a character can use.1 For a pure aim drill you will not need one. For a scenario that resembles a real fight, you might.

  • Four kinds. Movement, melee, sprint and recall.1
  • Two tabs each. Main for what it does, AI Use for when bots use it.1
  • A character holds four. Plus one global cooldown across them.
  • Skip it for a pure aim drill. It trains using the ability.

Tabs

Main

The tab holds the profile name, max charges, charges on spawn and a charge timer. It also holds charges refunded on kill, delay between uses, and a fully-auto switch.

Then come the weapon to shoot, a block attack timer, whether the ability is blocked when attacking, and ammo per shot.

A movement ability adds two more tabs. H-Box gives it a hurtbox so targets near it take damage or knockback, and Input controls which inputs are allowed during it.1

Charges and cooldown control interruptions. They decide how often something that is not aiming interrupts the scenario.

Max Charges is the ceiling, Charges On Spawn is how many are ready at the start, and the charge timer refills them.

Two rows of ability charges drawn as rings. In the first a single charge is spent and stays empty. In the second one of three is spent and an empty ring fills again as the charge timer returns it.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimOne chargeone interruption, then nothing1 of 1 on spawnspent, and goneThree chargesthree, and a timer refilling them2 of 3 on spawnspent, and the timer brings one back
Charges decide how many times a run gets interrupted, and the timer decides how soon again.

Fully Auto means the ability can be held down to keep using it, rather than pressed per use. Ammo Per Shot takes ammo from the selected weapon.

For a drill where you want aiming to be continuous, that interruption is the problem. For a drill about fighting through an ability, it is the point.

Two bars of the same length, each a sixty second run. The first is continuous aiming. The second is broken by three blocks of ability time, which the drill is not measuring aim during.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimSixty seconds, twiceone of them is not all aimingAim onlyWith an abilityred is time the drill is not measuring your aim

AI Use

This tab sets when bots use the ability, rather than what it does. Its fields are uses on ground, in air, in combat and out of combat, then a reuse timer.1

The conditions come next. They are self health range, target health range and target distance range, each as a min and max, then maximum FoV to target.

The reactions follow: whether taking damage activates the ability, a chance to ignore damage, and a reaction delay as a min and max.

A damage reaction block closes the tab with a cooldown, a threshold and a reset time.

The ranges are how you make a bot behave plausibly. A bot that only dashes when hurt, or only when you are close, reads as a player rather than a script.

Maximum FoV to Target adds a condition of its own. Using the ability in combat, the bot must be aiming within that many degrees of you.

Reaction delay keeps the bot fair. At zero the bot answers instantly, which no human does. Give it a range and the fight becomes winnable.

Common mistakes

  • Building an ability scenario and calling it aim practice.
  • Leaving reaction delay at zero, which produces an opponent nobody can beat.
  • Forgetting the character's global cooldown, which caps all four abilities at once.

In practice

Add one only when the fight needs it. An ability makes a scenario more like a game and less like a measurement. Both are useful. They are not the same thing.

Do this next. If your scenario is about aim, check that your character has no abilities assigned, so nothing interrupts the run.
