The head of the model extends beyond the bounding box when ducked. You can see this if you uncomment the call to PM_ShowClipbox in PM_PlayerMove. If my understanding of the engine's collision detection is correct, the hitboxes on the model will never get checked if they are outside the bounding box. I *think* using SetObjectCollisionBox to increase the size of the box when ducked might solve the problem. > > Did you apply the hitbox patch from Robin Walker's post (from > back in December of last year)?... > I don't think that will help. > BTW, did this fix get merged into SDK 2.3? I never downloaded 2.3 so I couldn't check myself. No, it didn't.
