How to Bunny Hop

This is my simple guide on how to bhop. It might not be the best tutorial because you can only do so much with just text, but I feel like I explained it the best I can.
Bhopping is a speedrunning technique in source, goldsource, and even quake based games. It's used to gain massive amounts of speed. The best game to practice bhopping, or to bhop, in general, is half-life. Quake was the game to introduce bhopping and since the goldsource engine is based on it, bhopping remained. Today, Bhopping can still be seen in half-life 2, counter strike source, and counter strike global offensive.

[@ThePrinzKassad]

Crossfire had a nice bhop; As a ghost, you become visible if you move BUT if you jump and walk backwards (faster than forwards) you essentially move the most time in air and therefore don't get visible at all! Oh and if you mastered it, you were really blazing fast! Of course, you have to jump perfectly and sometimes you had to look around for your enemies but HEY that was my first bhop ♥

[@Pop4484]

Thanks to your tutorial, I can now BHop! :D

[@bajgen]

I am L4D2 speedrunner, game has lower tickrate and bhopping is harder but more fun cuz you have to press SPACE exactly when you hit ground.

[@shadesoftime]

Also, try looking with right and left arrows if it's hard for you to maintain camera rotation for the whole jump because you, for example, have high mouse sensitivity

[@themurderofcoke]

Anyone struggling with the air strafing part, CS Surf is just air strafing practice. That's how I learned the strafing part, which led to Blast Pit under 5 mins. For anyone more than a decade behind on this, pop open a surf lobby in any CS game (CSS would probably translate best, but I learned on CSGO so it works similarly enough).

I have learned how to bhop pretty well in Quake. I was just wondering if Source had a power-bhop mechanic, and it seems that it doesn't. Power-bhop is just pressing forward button when you land to lose less velocity.

I have a question, how tf can everyone scroll so fast without their fingers dying in 1 minute? When I try it it's one of these always happen: A. My fingers get too tired from scrolling so fast B. I decide to scroll slower since it's tiring my fingers, but that causes my bhop timings to mess up 50% of the time C. I decide to scroll fast only when I'm about to land, but I don't always do it on time AND sometimes the B happens in this one even if I'm scrolling fast And btw, how do you bind the mwheeldown back to the default bind?

[@LamWarp]

It's all about practice. Try scrolling a little before you hit the ground, that could possibly work. In the console just type "unbind mwheeldown", them bind it to whatever it was in the settings

[@Demolicious51]

@@LamWarp But what's the "command" name of the bind to bind it back to switching your weapon? Couldn't find it online

[@sicnarf423]

In team fortress classic we use a script that spams jump key about five times each time you hit jump key. This allows you to time the jump easy. It doesn't let you hold down jump key and it keeps jumping though. Is there a similar script for hl? I've been looking for years. If so how do I install it compared to tfc? Which cfg and in what file? Thanks! I like your channel! Edit: in tfc we train noobs to use low gravity setting to help get a feel for the air control / strafe

[@LamWarp]

No, nothing similar that I'm aware of, there are only scripts that constantly spam jump. But I feel like since tfc and half life are very similar, that script you used in tfc should still work on half life since they use the same engine.

Thank you good sir :)

[@internet_inhabitant85]

i've found a good way to get good at getting the strafing movements are to lower the gravity a bit and just work on the movement keys and mouse so that becomes comfortable and can be done by muscle memory. or another way you can do it is sv_friction 0 and not jump at all but use the movement as if you where airborne. good luck

[@JBudOner]

Extremely helpful, but one thing you missed is you shouldn't hold down W while bhopping since it slows you down

[@LamWarp]

Right. I thought I said, but I guess not.

[@glathir3574]

How do you keep moving forward without using w I’m trying i don’t get it

[@JBudOner]

@@glathir3574 I hit forwards before my first jump and then only use strafe -- if you continue using strafe it retains and builds on your forwards momentum. Also make sure to `bxt_autojump 1` and `bxt_bhopcap 0`

[@honeychroma]

@@glathir3574If you haven't figured it out, air strafing one direction, and then switching your air strafe the other direction will preserve your momentum

[@smoked8471]

ya know i bhop mostly in l4d2, hl2 and csgo and the gravity and air acceleration in this game seems kinda weird. Like if you just jump in hl-1, notice that his jump height is too much. I tried to reduce it using sv_gravity command but no difference

[@LamWarp]

When object boosting, you have to jump at the right moment to get all the speed to make it across that gap. So you do have to jump.

[@sonic_exe2312]

@@LamWarp but when i jump i slow down when i move at hight speed. How can i move fast without slowing down?

That's because steam has a speed limit. You need BunnymodXT to get to higher speeds.

I'm having trouble maintaining momentum. I can get it started fine but when I try to alternate to the left strafe jump and so on I just gradually get slower. Would this be a problem of improper jump timing? Or is it the strafing? Idk any advice would help

[@LamWarp]

Most likely jump timing. If you time your jumps perfectly you shouldn't lose speed. Unless you're trying to press W will strafing, that could also lose you some speed.

[@coco_rthritis6462]

@@LamWarp Thank you. I should mention that I decided to try and do it on vanilla HL cause I wanted to use it for DM but I think I'm just hitting the cap. But I'm wondering if it actually slows me down instead of just not letting me go any faster? I've found that if I re-hold W and D/A for a short moment on every successive jump that I can maintain the speed but it's pretty hard and I might just be wrong anyway lol. Placebo is a hell of a drug.
