Hi, The problem is that I'm trying to do this with models which I can not recompile. Like every hl2 prop model.
I've tried changing the player hull which gives me different collisions but the actual model is still positioned by 50% into the ground. Do you know where the height value is rehandled or how the boundary box data is calculated? I mean this seems so simply to me yet I can seem to get it to work.
