How to Add a Custom LUA Script in Logitech G-Hub

1. Open Logitech G-Hub and Select Your Profile
   • Launch the Logitech G-Hub software.
   • Ensure you are in the Desktop Profile.
   • Click on the profile dropdown menu at the top of the window and select Manage Profiles.

2. Navigate to the Scripting Interface
   • Select the Desktop profile, then click the ellipsis icon.
3. Create a New Script
   • From the dropdown menu, click the Create a New Script button.
   • G-Hub will open a script editor with some default boilerplate code.

4. Clear the Default Code
   • Select all of the default code in the editor and delete it.
5. Paste Your Custom Script
   • Now, paste your custom LUA script into the empty editor. You can do this by going to Edit > Paste or by using the Ctrl + V keyboard shortcut.
6. Save and Run the Script
   • Finally, go to the Script menu and click Save and Run. This will activate your custom script.

Important Notes

• Saving and Reloading: Any time you make a change to your script, you'll need to save it and run it again to apply the changes. You can do this by clicking Save and Run from the menu or by using the Ctrl + S keyboard shortcut.
• Troubleshooting: If your script isn't working as expected, double-check the code for any errors and make sure you've followed all the steps correctly.

Lite Script Settings

buttonArg

• Which mouse button starts/stops the recoil script
• 1 = Left Primary Mouse Button

activateKey

• Which keyboard lock key toggles recoil on/off
• Options include "capslock", "numlock", or any other key name supported by G-Hub.
• When this key is active (LED on), shooting will apply recoil compensation;
• when off, clicking will behave normally.

profileCycleButton

• Which mouse button cycles through your weapon profiles
• Common choices:
• 4 or 5 = thumb buttons on most gaming mice
• 6 = DPI-cycle button (if unused for DPI)
• Pressing this button will switch to the next recoil profile in the list.

recoilProfiles

• name:
  • The name of the weapon profile
• Recoil directions:
  • vertical:

    Positive = move mouse down (counter upward recoil) Negative = move mouse up

  • horizontal:

    Positive = move mouse right Negative = move mouse left

• Notes:
  • You can add new weapons here by following the same format
  • It’s BEST to place your MAIN WEAPON as the first profile, since it is selected by default when the script starts
  • Values bellow are just an example, you should adjust them to your own weapon recoil pattern
  • For greater precision and improved weapon recoil management, upgrade to the Pro version, which includes advanced control features

counterLimit

• Stop recoil after this many steps

startAfterCounter

• Number of shots (iterations) to ignore before starting recoil compensation.
• Use if your first few bullets have very low recoil in-game.
• Set to 0 to start compensating immediately on the very first shot.
• Increase if you want to “skip” initial recoil.

Pro Script Settings

triggerButtons

• Set your button combination here. The script will only activate when ALL buttons are held.
• The LAST button in the list is the one that triggers the firing.
• {1} = Default (Left Click only)
• {2} = Right Click only
• {2, 1} = Hold Right Click (2) AND press Left Click (1)
• {5, 2, 1} = Hold Forward Thumb (5) AND Right Click (2) AND press Left Click (1)

activateKey

• Which keyboard lock key toggles recoil on/off?
• Options include "capslock", "numlock", or any other key name supported by G-Hub.
• When this key is active (LED on), shooting will apply recoil compensation;
• when off, clicking will behave normally.

recoilProfiles

• name:
  • The name of the weapon profile
• assignButton:
  • The specific mouse button that will immediately activate this profile.
  • Examples: 4 (back thumb), 5 (forward thumb), 6 (DPI shift), etc.
• bulletsPerEntry:
  • This value is used to determine which pattern entry applies for the current shot

    (e.g. if bulletsPerEntry is 5, the script will use the first 5 bullets to apply the pattern entry)

  • If bulletsPerEntry is missing or invalid, the script will fall back to 1 as a safe minimum
  • You should always define it explicitly
  • It's best to set it to 1 for games where precision is critical
  • Higher values are more suitable for games where precision is less critical
• pattern:
  • The pattern of the weapon profile.
  • Recoil Directions:

    vertical:

    • Positive = move mouse down (counter upward recoil)
    • Negative = move mouse up

    horizontal:

    • Positive = move mouse right
    • Negative = move mouse left
• Notes:
  • You can add new weapons here by following the same format
  • It’s BEST to place your MAIN WEAPON as the first profile, since it is selected by default when the script starts
  • Values below are just an example, you should adjust them to your own weapon recoil pattern

inGameSensitivity

• In-Game Mouse Sensitivity
• Set this to match your in-game sensitivity
• This option makes future sensitivity changes easier to manage

randomnessStrength

• Strength of randomness applied to horizontal and vertical recoil
• 0 = No randomness (exact pattern every time)
• 2 = Recoil values fluctuate by up to ±2 pixels per shot

trackMovement

• Return to original position after shooting
• Set to "true" to enable automatic return
• Set to "false" to stay where it ends up

recoilDelay

• How long (in milliseconds) to wait between each tiny mouse movement.
• Lower = faster compensation (more aggressive recoil control),
• higher = slower (smoother but less precise).

counterLimit

• Stop recoil after this many steps

startAfterCounter

• Number of shots (iterations) to ignore before starting recoil compensation.
• Use if your first few bullets have very low recoil in-game.
• Set to 0 to start compensating immediately on the very first shot.
• Increase if you want to “skip” initial recoil.

smoothingSteps

• How many tiny sub-steps to split each recoil movement into.
• More steps = smoother, gradual movement.
• Fewer steps = chunkier movement but potentially more accurate for high-speed recoil.

Tuning Your Recoil

1. Enter Training Mode:

• Go into your game's training mode and stand a few meters from a wall to clearly see your bullet impacts.

2. Select the correct profile:

• Press the profile assignButton for the weapon you want to tune.
• The current profile is shown in the script console when the script is active.

3. Activate the script:

• Enable your activateKey lock key (for example, capslock).
• Hold any trigger modifiers and press your fire button (triggerButtons) to start recoil control.

4. Observe the bullet pattern: Fire at the wall.

• If shots are climbing too high, increase the vertical value.
• If shots are going too low, decrease the vertical value.
• If shots are drifting right, make the horizontal value more negative.
• If shots are drifting left, make it more positive.

5. Repeat and refine: Continuously fire, check the spray, and adjust the values until the pattern flattens.

{ name = "NAME THE WEAPON 1", assignButton = 4, bulletsPerEntry = 2, pattern = {
  { vertical = 32, horizontal = -8 }, -- controls bullets 1 and 2
  { vertical = 24, horizontal = 6 },  -- controls bullets 3 and 4
  { vertical = 26, horizontal = -4 }, -- controls bullets 5 and 6
  { vertical = 26, horizontal = 0 }   -- controls bullets 7 and 8
}}

• assignButton switches the active profile immediately.
• bulletsPerEntry = 2 means each pattern entry covers 2 bullets. → The first line controls bullets 1 and 2, the next line controls bullets 3 and 4, and so on.
• If the pattern ends early, the script continues using the last defined entry.
• Adjusting vertical recoil: → If shots still climb up, increase the vertical value. → If shots drop too low, decrease the vertical value.
• Adjusting horizontal recoil: → If shots drift right, make the horizontal value more negative. → If shots drift left, make the horizontal value more positive.
• startAfterCounter lets you ignore the first few shots before compensation begins. → Set it to 0 for immediate recoil control. → Increase it if the first shot or two have lower recoil than the rest.
• smoothingSteps splits each recoil correction into smaller sub-steps. → Higher values make movement smoother. → Lower values make each correction more direct.
• randomnessStrength adds a small random offset to the recoil values. → Use 0 for the exact same pattern every time. → Increase it slightly to make recoil less predictable.

G-Hub Console Feedback

• Opening the Console: Go to the top menu, click View, then Console.
• Status Box: The script will display a status box in the console:
  • Status:
    • Red: Recoil is off.
    • Green: Recoil script is active.
  • Profile: Shows the currently active weapon profile. This updates when you press your profile cycle button.
