Does anyone know what the dimensions (in GTKRadiant 1.3.8 units) of a crouching player is?
The designer’s reference doesn’t seem to have anything on this. Also the GTKRadiant manual seems to be for Q3Radiant and all of its dimensions are for quake players, not ET players. It seems the ET players are a big larger.
The best way to do this is open Radiant, create a quick map with brushes at various heights, then compile it and run it in ET. Run around seeing what the lowest brush your player can crouch under and thats what it is.
standing 72
crouch/prone 56 if i remember right. Note that for collision purposes, the prone player is no shorter than a crouched player.
Also, if you make a ceiling exactly that height, players will have a bit of trouble moving, so you should leave them a few units of headroom.
Didn’t shrub fix this?[/quote]
Maybe, but you don’t create maps for shrub-mod servers only.
He fixed it for hit detection, which is not the same thing. If he changed it for colision as well, that is probably a bad idea, because the player would be able to crawl into places the original map designers did not intend.
Well, they should have put clip over that area then. It’d speed things up on non-shrub servers as well as preventing problems on shrub servers.

Even if that were true, the maps aren’t going to be redone. To say that splashdamage should have made their maps according to the requirements of some mod released after the game seems pretty silly to me.
In any case, as far as I know, etpro and shrub don’t change the prone collision box. Anyone want to verify ? If you stand on a prone player, do you float a couple feet over their head, or do you stand right on them ?
