info_hullshape - Brush Entity

Another useful entity introduced by Vluzacn's Compile Tools that allows the mapper to set a custom shape for the different collision hulls. The shape must be made of a single brush and must be tied with an origin brush to define the shape's center.

To use this you may either add zhlt_hull1, zhlt_hull2 and zhlt_hull3 keys whose values are the names of an info_hullshape for standing, big monster and crouching shapes respectively to any solid brush entity or func_detail, or set the defaulthulls key of the info_hullshapes accordingly to apply to all geometry by default.

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
• Set as default shape (defaulthulls) - Whether to use this shape as the default for hull calculations. The available options are:
  • = No
  • 2 = for hull 1 (standing player)
  • 4 = for hull 2 (big monster, e.g. gargantua)
  • 8 = for hull 3 (crouching player)
• Disable this entity (disabled) - Disable this entity

Flags

The entity has no flags.

Notes

• For reference, default hulls are cuboids of size 32x32x72 units (hull1, standing), 64x64x64 units (hull2, big monster) and 32x32x36 units (hull3, crouching) with origin in the center.
• Most of the time you will only need hull1 and hull3 as these are the collision hulls used by players (standing and crouching hulls respectively).
• This entity can be used to prevent the player from standing on top of slopes by giving the player a hull shape that is tapered or rounded at the bottom.
• The shape should be kept simple as complex shapes may drastically increase clipnodes used in the map.
