Might need to use/change the SetObjectCollisionBox function for all of the monsters. In this function, the pev->absmin and pev->absmax values are set. They're the collision hulls for entities.
Your answer should be in that area, I'm guessing. -Sniper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Hunter, M.D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 2:55 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Collision problem after rescaling > After scaling down to 1/4 size, I'm having problems with the player > model not colliding with the world properly.
