hi there...i remember once seeing a site that had all the units that mappers needed to keep in mind while mapping, but i cant find it now. only one i really remember is player height, which (i think) is 72. if i recall correctly, though, the last big update they dropped the player viewpoint down.

in short, i would like to know ideal hammer units for things like stairs, mg deploys, windows, doors, etc. so if someone could post a link to a site with that info on it, it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot.

Dont have any site but someone else might, the max a player can step over is 16, or maybe its 18.

1 mapping unit is approximately 1 inch. I believe that the max step is 16 units but then again I'm not a mapper...

Player size
Standing:73 u.
Width: 33 u.
Crouched:37 u.

Ground obstacle height
Crouched:18 u.
Standing:18 u.

Overhead obstacle height
C: 37 u.
S: 72 u.

Minimum path width
Width: 33 u.

Jump height
Crouched: 44 u.
Walking: 44 u.
Running crouch-jump: 62 u.

Jump span
Crouched: 99 u.
Walking: 109 u.
Running: 239 u.
Running crouch-jump: 259 u.

I got the info at: http://www.valve-erc.com

Hope this help :)

[edit] standing is now 73 u.

thank you very much, exactly what i was looking for.

Any time :D

Good infos, assuming the dod coders didn't change the default values :) If you could confirm, thanks in advance :)

how high (idealy) would be a window or mg deploy? didnt the player viewpoint get lowered? anyone know where it is?

I think it is in the upper chest or neck but that is just a guess.

About 44-48 units.

Here's the full article http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?doc=1015286457-70421400

One minor correction PeeZwee they say 73 units for standing gordon not 72 thanks for this thread though :)

MG deploy can be found by trial and error, 48 sounds good. I wish we could deploy while crouching.

I used to use 48 for deployable areas but now use 40-44 since they lowered the viewpoint.

thank you all. none of my maps ever make it out of hammer, but at least i can pretend like ill actually finish one someday.
