Edge Vision
A movement-scouting overlay for STRAFTAT. It marks vaultable lips and
wall-jumpable surfaces — including hidden walls (invisible colliders) —
with colored patches in the world near you, so you can read a map's movement
options at a glance.
What it marks
Classified by the game's actual movement checks (decompiled from
FirstPersonController):
- Vaultable lips (green → red gradient): surfaces in the 80–130° vault
band (
CheckForVault), shaded by overhang. Marked at the lip — the real top
of the surface — and only when the space just above it is open, so it flags
reachable edges instead of mid-wall hits.
- Wall-jumpable (blue): faces at 88–100° from horizontal on layers
0/14 — the exact wall-jump arm condition.
- Hidden walls: any collider with no visible mesh (an invisible wall) is
always marked, alpha-boosted, even when vertical. Visible plain vertical walls
are skipped — those are obvious by eye.
How it works (and why it's patches, not full coloring)
STRAFTAT's world geometry is non-readable mesh colliders (Read/Write disabled,
as in most shipped games), so a mod can't read their vertices to recolor them.
Edge Vision instead raycasts the area around you each tick — a ray's hit normal
is valid regardless of mesh readability, and rays hit invisible colliders too — and
drops a colored patch on each qualifying surface. The tradeoff is that it
highlights surfaces near you, as you move, rather than painting the whole map at
once.
Usage
- Toggle with F9 (configurable).
- Read-only and vanilla-compatible — it never touches gameplay, so there's no
matchmaking impact. It's a scouting aid, the same category as the built-in
speedometer.
Config (EdgeVision.*)

OriginDrop.
- Display:
XRay (draw through walls), Alpha, HiddenAlphaBoost, the colors.
Notes
- A marked patch is a candidate: it captures the surface angle and clearance, not
your full live context (speed, airborne state), so use judgment.
- Patches sample what the rays reach — dense, nearby surfaces show best; thin ledges
or far geometry can be missed. Raise
Directions / Range for coverage at some
CPU cost.
