does anyone have any knowledge of how to set a player's collision vecs to a custom model's .phy collision hull?

Not possible. These are hardcoded.

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.

Vecs is just a box around the model that the engine uses for the most general of checks.
If you want custom collision (ragdoll, projectiles, etc), you have to make it into the model, by skinning convex boxes to bones with 1.0 weight.
To have custom hitboxes, you have to define their shape and size in the model's qc. Hlmv will generate this for you, and allow you to adjust it.

The model I have already has it's own collision box/hull, but everytime I set that model onto a player, it uses the player's collision hull/hitboxes.

EDIT: Would using "DispatchKeyValue(client, "model", VehicleModel);" work out?

EDIT2: did not work out. What about SetEntityModel?

[nergal]

tried SetEntityModel on player, did not work...

help?

I feel ignored.
