Stop saying you can't because you can.
You need to build the model with appropriate physics and edit the bounds for the hitboxes. When you set the model on the player, they get those hitboxes.

Check some of the models in my blog if you want examples. Most of the weird shaped ones like pokemon and the quadruped ponies have very different hitboxes.

The server has to have the models however, else it will use the default ones.

Note that this is for hit detection only.

You can set the specified mins/maxs, and it will "scale" them.
For example, hhh is 2x the size of a normal player. If you give him specified vecs 2x as large, hit detection will span across his model.

Likewise, you could set them smaller for a shorter model.

If you want to change the hull of the player outside of hit detection (view height, ability to crouch lower, go through smaller doors, etc) you need to set the modelsize netprop.

hhh as in the vsh/ff2 hhh or the halloween boss itself?

Also, I just want to change the hit detection/collisions as I'm using a model that was created with the intent as being used as a prop for a map but it looks very nice as I want to use it as a player model.

My goal here is to change BOTH hit detection and collision hull for the specific model.

Off topic: cool blog!

You can't via Sourcemod. You certainly can by creating a custom model. But this is the Scripting forum.

Please point me to where it says that it cannot be changed? I'm asking this because Model Scale seems to ignore this page, and when you resize a player it will change their collision hull box.
Just wondering, not trying to be rude or anything, but it is called 'g_DefaultViewVectors' hence the 'DEFAULT' part of that, meaning it's meant to be changed.

Applying said 'new model' would mean that he would have to use sourcemod.

Great, but you can't change the aspect ratio.
He was asking whether he could set the hull box so it fits an arbitrary custom model. The answer is no.

Now I wonder why he didn't ask on MSDN since his server might be running Windows. Maybe it is running Linux then...
Not meant to be rude or anything, but if I simply called BS without a comparison you wouldn't "believe" me either way.

I was trying to change view height, but it seems only scale does it.
There is a viewheight netprop, but it gets reset every frame, and changing it only works for crouching.


For any model you could probably try changing the hit detection from vphysics to bbox, and then set the bbox. Works for props, but did not try for players.

For the record, this is for the vehicle mod I am making right now.

but I'm making the player as the vehicle instead.

which reminds me, I need to obtain a destroyed version of my models.

to Friagram: As a recap of what you said, the model MUST have a custom collision box AND custom hitboxes correct? Is there anything else that's crucial for this?

You should make animations for left/right so the wheels shift and steering wheel turns.
Forward/back so they spin the correct direction when players move.
You could just ust collision break models for death (gibs)

welll......

it's a tank lol, not the mvm tank either. I've commissioned a TF2-Styled T-72 tank (renamed T-F2) that I'm going to code up as a custom class mod.

of course, I'll be releasing everything here. I just need some help getting down certain issues such as this collision hull and hitbox detection thing.
