I think there is 2 type of meters in game, 1 game unit = 0.0254 FakeMeter = 0.0122625 RealMeter


FakeMeter is the meters that got extracted from player length I suppose. Player length should be 72 units = 1.8288 FakeMeters

RealMeter depending on the meters in the reality extracted from game default gravity 800 / 9.8 earth gravity.

Now we need just to transfer from real meters to game meters.

I think problem is solved.

No. Everything you just said is wrong.

Gravity is NOT a unit of length, it is an acceleration which is length per time squared. Also, 0.0254 is the conversion factor go to from inches to meters. If 800 is considered "normal" gravity then 9.81/800 is the conversion factor to go from the sv_gravity value to acceleration in units of meters per second squared.

This thread so far makes no sense without context. Like I said before, the units for sv_gravity are mostly irrelevant. What are you trying to do?

0.0254 is the factor to convert from units to meters
Which does make sense because, 72 units ( player tall in units ) x 0.0254 = 1.82 meters (human average tall length)

You are wrong if you divided Acceleration by Acceleration the seconds squared units gets cancelled out, which leave us only with Length units (800 units/s2 = 9.8m/s2) ==> 800÷9.8 units = 1 meter.


Also I never said gravity is length.

If that is true then that means that the base unit for length in the game is inches.

No. If you divide acceleration by acceleration you get no units at all, you get a simple ratio (when you properly process the units of the input values; when you're dividing by earth gravity, you get what is considered the "g-force"). The 800 doesn't have units of "units/s^2".

If you assume that sv_gravity of 800 is normal earth gravity of 9.81 m/s^2 then the units for sv_gravity are (9.81 m/s^2)/800 which is 0.0122625 m/s^2 which is also 0.483 in/s^2 (also known as the conversion factor for sv_gravity to get real-world units).

Well, from some of your posts, it seemed like that was what you assumed.

The gravity cvar is cut in half in this equation, so you could consider default player gravity 400 which is close to the Earth gravity if you use your formula to convet units to meters.

Anyway, it doesn't matter at all because it's just a made-up in-game unit, and 800 is used just because it probably seemed the most natural for the gameplay, not because it relates to real-world gravity in some way.
