= Settings =
'''CIT Settings''' is the main server specific settings menu in CIT. Players use it to change HUD options, graphics, audio, gameplay helpers, alerts, [[binds]], radar behavior, group related display settings, and many other CIT specific features.

To open it, use:

<code>/settings</code>


== Fast settings to know ==

<div class="cit-table-scroll">

|}
</div>


== Main settings areas ==
The CIT settings menu includes categories for things like:

* HUD
* Binds
* FPS
* Shader Graphics
* Sounds and [[Music]]
* Radar and Mini Map
* Group, [[Alliance]], and Squad
* Spawning and Heist
* CITPhone
* Miscellaneous
* LV settings
* Custom Titles
* Seasons
* Drug display
* [[Combat]] helpers
* Respawn settings

== How to open and use CIT settings ==

To open the settings menu, use:

<code>/settings</code>

To open the `Binds` tab directly, use:

<code>/sbinds</code>

You can use the search box to find a setting by:

* setting name
* category name

If you search for a category, the results can show the whole category and the settings inside it.

== CIT Settings vs MTA settings ==
CIT has its own settings menu, but standard MTA settings are still available through:

<code>ESC > Settings</code>

Use '''ESC > Settings''' for standard MTA client options like:

* Multiplayer
* Binds
* Controls
* Interface
* Web Browser
* Advanced

Use '''/settings''' for server specific CIT features and gameplay options.

== Binds and key settings ==

The '''Binds''' tab in <code>/settings</code> is used for CIT script binds.

It includes grouped sections such as:

* Weapon Binds
* Respawn Binds
* Function Keys
* Vehicle Binds
* General Binds
* Interaction Binds
* Job / Activity Binds

Each row shows:

* the bind name
* the current key in the '''Value''' column

You can double click a bind to set a new key.

Bind editing details:

* double click with `LMB` to set `Key 1`
* double click with `RMB` to set `Key 2`
* the menu shows `Key 2` when an alternative key is set
* if the primary and secondary bind are the same, they fall back to `Key 1`

Sprint cannot be bound to the same key as aim or fire. Using that bind disables your controls.

The CIT binds menu also supports:

* secondary [[Key Binds|key binds]]

`Notify me of New Players` helps groups find genuinely new players for the recruiting reward. If the message says `accounts on this PC: 1`, the reward is available for that player.

If you accidentally unbind an important CIT script key, reconnecting resets your binds to default. You can also fix binds manually in:

<code>ESC > Settings > Binds</code>

Standard movement and base MTA controls should still be changed in:

<code>ESC > Settings > Binds</code>

== HUD settings ==

The '''HUD''' tab controls the CIT custom HUD and interface display.
