📋 About This Mod
This tiny mod gives you the ability to lean around corners!

Big return of my very first script mod, straight from 2013!
Written from scratch, now with fixes and all new features!
The mod that was the very beginning of the Project B42...
Let me present to you one & only, infamous True Leaning!
Why infamous? It was so bloody broken I had to delete it from the face of the earth (hah gl with that)
Or at least I tried. Till this day users keep finding it, and then DMing me their bugs and requests, lol.
● ESPless! ScriptRunner. No ESP - no problems. You can poke the script too
● Contextual, as it always should've been, but wasn't possible back in 2013.
● Works natively on controllers! Just hold ADS near a corner and you'll lean!
● Actually works as expected, with all weapons & all animations regardless.
● Actually silky smooth. Because coding gives us magic of easing/tweening
● No clipping not only through solid objects but also weird uneven surfaces
● Native precision fix! If you can see it - you can definitely hit it. Probably.
unfortunately, game has pretty bad collisions. Sometimes you stand near a wall and shoot (w/o lean)
but hit invisible collision right in front of you, because somebody didn't bother make it fit actual wall
● Mod friendly: doesn't mess up autoaim, doesn't exclude scoped weapons.
● Configurable! From lean angle to side step and hotkeys - it's all up to you!
Hold aim near corners to lean automatically.
Hold Q or E keys to lean left / right manually
To configure leaning angle, sidestep or keys
edit settings.ini in config\B42Leaning folder

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,318 endorsements and over half a million downloads — this mod is proven.
- ESPless means no plugin overhead, so it's lighter on performance and less likely to clash with other mods.
- Contextual leaning adds a layer of realism that makes combat and exploration feel more fluid.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in October 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before updating.
- Requires the base game's leaning feature to be enabled; if you've disabled it, this mod won't work.
For Project Zomboid players who want more immersive movement and tactical positioning during combat. If you're tired of the vanilla leaning system and want something that reacts to your surroundings, this is for you. Skip if you prefer minimal changes to core mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your mods folder and enable it in the mod menu — no extra steps.
- Test the leaning in a safe area first to get a feel for how the contextual prompts trigger.
- If you're using other movement mods, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
