Change Player Collision box height ingame ?

Post by LOZ_98 »

Is it possible? I'd like to be able to change between 2 heights ingame, I already tried Morphing the actor but it seems this isn't seamless and breaks whatever the player is currently doing, crouching is too limited, height can't be changed, and as far as I know there's no way to tell the game to stop changing the player speed or view height when crouched.

Any workarounds? Thanks.

[wiki]A_SetSize[/wiki] will let you change the actor's height/radius on the fly. If you want to change the crouching/movement behavior you'll need to use ZScript and override some of the built-in player code (such as MovePlayer, CrouchMove, CheckCrouch, etc).
