Settings

This page contains a list of all the settings you can configure when creating a custom gamemode (in Training > Custom). Don't be afraid of breaking the game, worst case scenario you just press F5 and everything's back to normal. So get out there and make the weirdest gamemode imaginable.

Descriptions

target_size

The diameter of the targets (in pixels) at their biggest point.

time_per_target

The amount of time you have to click on each target before it disappears. If you don't click it in the given time and miss_target_loses_life is set to yes, you will lose a life. If time_per_target is 0, targets will never disappear until you click on them.

target_speed

If set to 0, targets will stay still. If set to something bigger than zero, targets will move around at a speed of about this many times their diameter per second.

constant_target_size

If set to no, targets will grow to the maximum size and then shrink and disappear. If set to yes, targets will stay at the maximum size for their entire duration.

misclick_kills_nearest

If you misclick, the nearest target will die anyway. How nice of it. But it will count as a missed target. Less nice. Don't miss your targets kids.

targets_per_sec

Number of targets per second. If set to 0, only one target will ever spawn. That should of course only be done when targets_dont_die is set to yes and time_per_target is 0 or very high.

targets_per_sec_increase_per_min

If set to something bigger than 0, the number of targets per second (targets_per_sec) will steadily increase. After one minute it will have increased by the set amount.

instant_respawn

If set to yes, when you click a target a new target will instantly appear elsewhere. There will be exactly spawn_group_size targets active at any time.

spawn_group_size

This amount of targets will spawn at a time.

spawn_in_center

If set to yes, targets will spawn in the center.

randomized_spawntime

If set to yes, targets will not spawn at regular intervals, but will instead spawn somewhat randomly.

max_dist_from_previous

The maximum distance from the previous target that a new target can spawn. Set to -1 for no restrictions.

lives

The number of lives you have. The game ends after you lose all your lives. Set this to 0 to have infinite lives.

misclick_loses_life

If set to yes, you will lose a life every time you click somewhere that isn't on a target.

miss_target_loses_life

If set to yes, you will lose a life every time you don't click on a target in time.

losing_life_clears_screen

If you set this to yes, then every time you lose a life all the targets on the screen will disappear.

time_limit

If set to something other than 0, the game will last this amount of seconds.

grid_width

The width of the field that targets can spawn in. Ignored if grid_autoresize is enabled. If you set this to 0, it will act as if grid_autoresize is enabled.

grid_height

The height of the field that targets can spawn in. Ignored if grid_autoresize is enabled. If you set this to 0, it will act as if grid_autoresize is enabled.

grid_autoresize

Automatically resize the grid so that it takes the most possible space. Useful if you go fullscreen. But don't use this setting anymore, just set the width and height to 0, it's easier.

autobalance

If you set it to something other than nothing, the game will balance the given setting for you. There are 3 possible settings to balance:

If you hit a target, the game becomes slightly harder, and if you lose a life, the game becomes slightly easier. The amount the setting increases/decreases are chosen in such a way that you will have an accuracy of around autobalance_accuracy percent.

autobalance_accuracy

See autobalance.

invisible_cursor

I don't need no cursor.

no_need_to_click

Tired of clicking? Set this to yes.

targets_dont_die

You can click targets all you want, they won't go away. Well not any sooner than if you didn't click them. If you enable this, it's best to set miss_target_loses_life to no. Or you will die.

Note: This setting has been replaced by target_hp.

target_hp

The number of hit-points each target has, in other words how many times you have to click a target before it goes away. Set it to -1 to give targets infinite life, which behaves the same as enabling targets_dont_die used to do.

allow_overlap

If set to no, targets will never overlap.

show_reaction_time

Every time you click a target, it shows how long it took you to click that target.

target_fade_out_effect

If set to "off" the targets won't fade out when constant_target_size is set to "yes".

losing_life_animation

Set this to "off" if you find the big red or black circle that appears when you lose a life too distracting.

blood_effect

Set this to "off" if you don't like the disgustingly gory and over-the-top graphic violence that gives AimBooster its R rating.

show_target_ghosts

Don't like the white indications of where you clicked on the target? Set this to "no".

absolute_target_speed

If set to "no", bigger targets move faster. If set to "yes", the speed of a target doesn't depend on its size.

target_speed_randomness

Whenever a new target spawns, it will have a speed at most target_speed_randomness% lower and at most target_speed_randomness% higher than target_speed. So if you set this to 0%, all targets have the same speed. At 100%, the new target's speed can be anywhere from 0 to 2x target_speed.

horizontal_speed

The higher, the more targets move horizontally. The lower, the more targets move vertically. By default, horizontal_speed is 50% and targets can move in any direction. At 100%, targets move only left and right. At 0%, targets move only up and down. Anything in between is also possible, of course.

rng_seed

If you want the targets to appear in the same positions every time, set this to something else than -1.
