The stairs hight must be two time smaller then the width. Examples: 32x16/16x8/8x4

I know, the players can climb stairs in the hight of 17 units while monsters need them to be in the size I mentioned before.
P.S: The maximum hight for monsters is 16 units... maybe 17 but I remember the player can climb higher then them.

plus the player can jump.
and normally when having monsters use stairs, you put an info_node on every stair to make sure that the monster can navigate properly

Take a look at the half life dimensions in the tutorials. The maximum you can step up is 16 units.

I know but I tested it and he can climb 17(maybe 19...) units high step, it's just annoying to use the 1 grid size to do it.

but isn't the step height 18 or something. I thought it was 20. Does this number change with different games or something.

Yeah, but Rimmy that doesn't say anything about monsters.
I had this problem with hosties on a CS map, well sort of. The player could traverse the staris no problemo, but the hosties would fall through.
The Hunter recommended adding clip brushes just under the rise/run of the stairs and it worked like a dream! maybe it will work for your monsters too

Tried that... not workie. They just stop where the clip brush starts. You need the steps to be in that peticular size I mentioned before! Believe me I tried.

In my map The Playtest I used stairs that were 8 units heigh and 16 units 'deep'. I placed an info_node on every step, on the center, and those grunts could navigate around freely.
It would be easy to do some tests, varying step heights and testing with and without info_nodes. But I don't have the time for that now nor do I see the use of it for me since I hardly do any HL mapping these days. If you really wanted to know, I'd say try it.
