Hit Boxes

digz · November 2002

I was playing a map where a marine was comming down a ladder, being a skulk i climber up after him and chewed on his feet. After about 5 bites the marine caught on, looked down and shot me to peices <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'> (no HA, no upgrades)

I was wondering where I should start aiming on marines, or at least if someone could show the hit box placement.

Aim for the **obscenity**. I think what you're talking about is a bug. /me shrugs

If there was headshot's good marines whould rape bugs.

That's happened to me a lot before, and it isn't pleasant. Ladders in cramped corridor = skulk death, even when you get 5 bites into him.

There's one hitbox for each human and alien.

Sorry, better luck next time.

Uh, no. Practically every part of the marines and aliens is its own hitbox. Download HL model viewer to see them. If there was only one hitbox then crouching wouldn't make you a smaller target, and you could shoot between peoples legs and still hit them.

I'm still not sure why vents/ladders make the hitboxes go weird though.

I will aim for the genitles then <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

I rememeber reading a earlier post, where someone had said there was a problem with the leg hitboxes registering...or something like that...

You can't just bite up "between" his legs, you have to bite AT a leg. I'm thinking that bite weapons basically have one "unit" hit radius it seems, and if you're basically not ramming your face INTO a hitbox, it's very easy to miss with them.

Thanks for the image deadlyfreeze.

Now I know just where the marines are a bit ticklish to my teeth.

mmmm.

Clank. The sound of weapons hitting the floor. It means victory, however temporary.
