Is there a way to change the height of an engineers building so building cant be built in some places.

Say I have a box that is 73 Hammer-Units tall, I can build a level 3 sentry in said box. But is there a way to increase the collision of the sentry (I guess collision, I'm not sure what it would be?) to, say, 80 HU so if I try to build inside that box, it wont build? So the sentry would stay the same size, the jump height onto the sentry stays the same, but the minimum distance needed to build is changed?

I have tried setting the below, but I will keep looking for something that will work.
m_vecSpecifiedSurroundingMinsPreScaled & Max
m_vecSpecifiedSurroundingMins & Max
m_vecSurroundingMins & Max
m_vecBuildMins & Max
m_vecMins & Max

So m_vecBuildMins is to set the building height, it kind of works, but not how I want it too. If I use it on sentrys or dispensers, it works fine, but on teleporters, if I set the height high, when I crouch, the teleporter ducks underground so you cannot build it. This is only when you are standing under something. Any ideas?

This is before I change m_vecBuildMins & max

Iirc some the tests for build objects is haed coded for mims and maxs.
Have you tried modelscale?
Also, you can adjust the mins to raise it if needed.

I haven't tried m_flModelScale, but wouldn't that just do what it says, and scale the model?

And you can't actually raise the mins, if you do, the building hovers above the floor

From stt

PHP Code:

void Building_SetScale(int iBuilding, float flScale)
{
    SetEntPropFloat(iBuilding, Prop_Send, "m_flModelScale", flScale);

    // Set the bounds of the building blueprint, without this, the engineer could get stuck in his own building!
    float flMins[3];
    float flMaxs[3];
    GetEntPropVector(iBuilding, Prop_Send, "m_vecBuildMins", flMins);
    GetEntPropVector(iBuilding, Prop_Send, "m_vecBuildMaxs", flMaxs);
    ScaleVector(flMins, flScale);
    ScaleVector(flMaxs, flScale);
    SetEntPropVector(iBuilding, Prop_Send, "m_vecBuildMins", flMins);
    SetEntPropVector(iBuilding, Prop_Send, "m_vecBuildMaxs", flMaxs);
} 


PHP Code:

Building_SetScale(sentry, 2.0) 


[Boonie]

That is very close to what I had. But it does not change the height at which you can build under. Scaling it does nothing for the min and max for the height.

PHP Code:

    int entity = -1;
    while ((entity = FindEntityByClassname(entity, "obj_teleporter")) != -1) {
        if (IsValidEntity(entity)) {
            SetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecBuildMins", view_as<float>({-28.0, -28.0, 0.0}));
            SetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecBuildMaxs", view_as<float>({28.0, 28.0, 75.0}));
        }
    }
