Aim Profile

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 aim profile tells a bot how to aim at you.1 It has one tab, and most aim drills never touch it, because most aim drills use targets that never shoot back.

  • One tab, about twenty fields.
  • Irrelevant if bots do not fire. That covers most aim scenarios.2
  • It models a human, badly or well. It does so through reaction time, speed and error.
  • It is also how you build an aimbot. An aimbot is for testing, not for scoring.

Tabs

Main

The tab starts with the profile name and an aiming style, then reaction time and self movement fix time, each as a min and max.

Then come the aim fields: flick FOV, flick speed, flick error, track speed and track error.

The limits follow: max turn on mousepad, mouse re-center time as a min and max, optimal aim FOV and an outer aim penalty multiplier. The limits also include shoot FOV, a vertical aim offset and a tolerable spread.

Speed and error are the pair that matter. Speed sets how fast the bot closes on you. Error sets how much it misses by, which is what stops it being perfect.

Set error to zero and you have an aimbot. That is useful while building, because it lets you check whether a scenario's geometry and spawns work without your own aim in the way.

Reaction time is a sampling rate, not a delay. The editor describes it as how often the bot estimates its opponent's position and its own.

Estimate rarely and the bot aims where you were when it last looked. That is what makes a slow bot feel beatable rather than merely slow.

Two panels, each with a target moving smoothly and a ring marking where the bot thinks it is. Estimating often, the ring stays closed around the target. Estimating rarely, it lags behind on the same track in visible steps.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimEstimates oftenits guess stays currentyouits estimate14 estimates per passEstimates rarelyit aims at where you wereyouits estimate4 estimates per pass
A slow bot is not aiming late. It is aiming at an older guess.

Flick Speed is defined relative to that reaction time. It is how fast the bot flicks to the estimated location.

Reaction time is also how you model a human. A bot with a short one punishes you for breaking cover. A long one gives you a window.

Max Turn On Mousepad is the field that makes a bot feel human. It is how many degrees from the bot's mousepad center before an aiming penalty starts.

Track Error is a random value from zero up to the amount you set, multiplied by that mousepad penalty, then clamped at Max Aiming Error.

A curve of the bot\u2019s aiming error against how far it has turned. The error stays low until a marked mousepad limit, then climbs steeply, and flattens where it meets a marked maximum aiming error.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimTurning past the mousepaderror grows, then stops growingerrordegrees turnedmax turn on mousepadmax aiming error
Error climbs once the bot turns past its mousepad, then stops at the ceiling you set.

So a bot aiming near its mousepad center is accurate and one turning hard is not. No amount of turning takes it past the ceiling you set. That mimics a player running out of desk.

Mouse Re-center Time is how long it takes to lift and reset, which is the other half of the same idea.

Optimal Aim FOV and the outer penalty shape where the bot is dangerous. Inside that cone it aims well, outside it the penalty multiplier degrades it.

That is the setting for a scenario about angles. Stay outside its optimal cone and you are fighting a worse opponent.

A bot with a shaded cone spreading out in front of it, marked as the range where it aims well. A crosshair moves down out of the cone and back, and a note says that stepping outside it means fighting a worse opponent.Bassel Bakrhttps://github.com/Bassel-Bakr/aimOptimal aim FOVwhere the bot is actually dangerousinside: it aims welloutside: the penalty degrades itthe botstep out and you fight a worse opponent
The cone is where the bot aims well. Outside it, the penalty multiplier does the work for you.

Common mistakes

  • Tuning an aim profile for a scenario whose bots never fire.2
  • Leaving error at zero outside of testing, which makes an unbeatable opponent.
  • Expecting this profile to change how a bot moves. Motion is a dodge profile.3

In practice

Skip it unless your scenario is a duel. For a target you shoot and it does not shoot back, no aim profile is needed at all.2

Do this next. If you are building a duel scenario, set reaction time and error first and leave the rest alone. Those two decide how hard the opponent is.
