Crouch Kill Spot.

[Termin8oR]

Hey Readers,

I have noticed on the quake2 version when I get behind someone and they are in "crouch" mode,
I end up shooting through them. How big is the kill spot/kill trigger? Or where is the perfect spot to aim?

Jitspoe please help.
Thanks

From http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/testwiki1/pb2wiki.php?word=Mapping+Guide the player crouch height is believed to be 32 units.  The old models, it's possible to shoot through their head, but this is mostly fixed with the Build15/16 models.

okay. thanks Bain.
Im using quake2 and i end up spraying through the player like 5 times before I hit the spot.

The crouch height is exactly 1/2 of the standing height.  Standing height is 56 units, so crouching height is 28.  This is why the new player models crouch so low.

I wrote that in my first post, but later edited it after finding evidence supporting the 32units on the Wiki, so I assumed that you wrote it and that it was correct. Hmpf

Hehe thanks guys. But where is the best spot to aim on the player? Like mid section, head, legs?

i go for the nose everytime.

With the old models, it's best to aim for the legs.  The player model sticks out above the bounding box both when crouching and when jumping.
