# StrafeHelper

![StrafeHelper Showcase 1](showcase_1.jpg)

## Motivation

Stop paying for macro apps that do one simple thing. StrafeHelper is a transparent, open-source utility for the movement community — free, auditable, and built to stay that way.

## Features

| Feature | Description |

|---|---|

| **[Lurch Strafing](https://apexmovement.tech/wiki/tech/General%20Tech%3ELurch%20Tech%3ELurch%20strafe%3ELurch%20Strafing%20article#Lurch_strafing)** | Automates rapid A↔D cycling while airborne to exploit Apex's momentum system for tight directional strafes — the core of Lurch Tech movement. Delay and hold-duration configurable. |

| **SnapTap / SOCD** | Last-input-wins axis filtering — press both A+D and only the most-recent registers. |

| **Turbo Loot** | Auto-repeats a loot key at configurable speed while held. |

| **Turbo Jump** | Auto-repeats a jump key at configurable speed while held. |

| **Superglide** | One-press automation of the Jump → (1 frame) → Crouch sequence with sub-millisecond QPC timing. |

| **Dual Input Backends** | WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook (default) or Interception kernel driver, hot-switchable at runtime. |

| **ImGui GUI** | Tabbed interface: Config, State Monitor, Console. All binds rebindable in-app. |

## [Superglide](https://apexmovement.tech/wiki/tech/General%20Tech%3EMantle%20Tech%3ESuperglide%3ESuperglide%20article#Superglide)

> A Superglide is an instant 1-frame acceleration out of a Mantle. It combines the speed of a Slide and a Jump simultaneously — because you leave the ground mid-mantle, you don't hit friction and keep all the velocity.

**What the game requires:**

- You must be **sprinting** into a mantle.

- In the **last 0.15 seconds** of the mantle animation, execute the input package:

  - **Jump** (Space)

  - Exactly **1 frame later** → **Crouch** (Left Ctrl)

The mantle timing is the human element — StrafeHelper removes hardware timing variance from the **input package** entirely.

**What StrafeHelper automates:**

1. Press your designated Superglide bind (suppressed — the game never sees it).

2. StrafeHelper instantly injects:

   - **Jump** (Space)

   - Waits exactly **1 frame** at your configured FPS using sub-millisecond QPC timing

   - **Crouch** (Left Ctrl)

You still need to time the mantle window yourself — StrafeHelper guarantees the Jump→Crouch interval is pixel-perfect every time.

**Timing precision:**  

Frame duration = `freq / targetFPS` in QPC ticks (no integer truncation). Hybrid wait: coarse `Sleep(1)` + QPC busy-spin for the final 0.5 ms. Achieves <10 µs accuracy at any frame rate.

**Config options (in-app or `config.cfg`):**

| Key | Default | Description |

|---|---|---|

| `enable_superglide` | `false` | Master toggle |

| `superglide_bind` | `192` (tilde `~`) | VK code of the trigger key |

| `target_fps` | `60.0` | Game frame rate — determines the 1-frame delay |

A 500 ms cooldown after each execution prevents accidental re-trigger from key-hold auto-repeat.

## Input Backends

Both backends are selectable from the **Config** tab at runtime without restarting.

### WinHook *(default)*

`WH_KEYBOARD_LL` low-level keyboard hook. No driver required.

| | |

|---|---|

| Driver required | ✗ |

| Physical key suppression | ✗ (passthrough only) |

### Interception *(optional)*

Kernel-mode filter driver via [Interception](https://github.com/oblitum/Interception). Operates below the Windows input stack.

| | |

|---|---|

| Driver required | ✓ [Interception driver](https://github.com/oblitum/Interception/releases) |

| DLL required | ✓ `interception.dll` next to the exe |

| Physical key suppression | ✓ |

**Setup:** Install the driver, place `interception.dll` next to the exe, launch StrafeHelper. The Config tab shows a live status badge:

| Badge | Color | Meaning |

|---|---|---|

| `[ OK ]` | Green | Driver ready |

| `[ X ]` | Red | `interception.dll` not found |

| `[ ! ]` | Amber | DLL present, driver not running |

## Technical Details

- **Language:** C++20 (MSVC v143)

- **GUI:** Dear ImGui · Win32 + DirectX 11 backend · Inter font

- **Threading:** One Win32 thread + auto-reset event per feature; atomic config shared across threads

- **Timing:** `QueryPerformanceFrequency` / `QueryPerformanceCounter` for frame-accurate sleep; `timeBeginPeriod(1)` for coarse sleep resolution

- **Injection:** `SendInput` with `KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE`; synthetic events tagged with `NEO_SYNTHETIC_INFORMATION` to avoid re-entrant processing

### Architecture

```

InputBackend (abstract)

├── KbdHookBackend   — WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook thread → event queue → PollEvents

└── InterceptionBackend — Interception driver polling thread → event queue → PollEvents

Application

├── DispatchKeyEvent  — routes Interception events to feature handlers

├── KeyboardProc      — routes WinHook events to feature handlers

└── Feature threads (Win32 HANDLE + Event)

    ├── SpamLogic

    ├── TurboLogic (Loot + Jump)

    └── SuperglideLogic

Gui::GuiManager  — ImGui render loop (Config / Monitor / Console tabs)

Config namespace — atomic vars + LoadConfig / SaveConfig (key=value file)

```

## Build

1. Open **Visual Studio 2022** (v143 toolset).

2. Open `StrafeHelper.sln`.

3. Set configuration to **Release | x64**.

4. Build — output at `x64/Release/StrafeHelper.exe`.

Or from PowerShell:

```powershell

$msbuild = Get-ChildItem "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\*\Community\MSBuild" -Recurse -Filter "MSBuild.exe" | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName

& $msbuild StrafeHelper.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /m

```
