Not a good addon when playing campaign games because lots of scripts break because they're too fat to fit through.

so know i can have children security guards and scientists and evil children HECU

why is the player always danny diveto

i think they might be a bit too big\tall to call this ''realistic''

POV : Player is a child

why is everybody 6ft5

For me when the npc with random high dies it returns to regular height

Wow so realistic nice

POV: when the player is a child

makes you look like a gnome to the other NPCS, 10/10

@MORN1NG_ST4R
kn_realistic_height_average_multiplier 0.75;kn_realistic_height_short_multiplier 0.75;kn_realistic_height_tall_multiplier 0.75

I don't get why the player being technically 4'6" actually matters. Everything is scaled as if 4'6" is 5'8", so really it's weirder to make everyone taller, even if their "actual heights" aren't realistic.

can you make a variable that changes the height of all of them? Like an overall height modifier? So that, instead of changing my height, I could just... make all of them shorter?

people playground lololololololo

Ss

great now I can be insecure in gmod

the player's height description is shown for scale, not made for players. if you want to change your height, i suggest getting a player height customizer addon

it only efects npcs

Tabs anyone?

im bout to get rejected by every female npc in city 17 after downloading this mod

thanks for telling us that we are literal midgets

no

goofy ah lab experiments

anything but realistic

use "kn_realistic_height_average_multiplier 0.9" for normal ish for npc and this add-on adds something to this game

they just die with their original size lol

If you have the simple player resizer mod, set the player size to 1.34 to match up with the NPCs.

i always thought that the characters were like 160-170cm at most

To further corroborate Destruction's argument, the YouTuber The Dauntless Wolf has made some videos on the subject that I've found enlightening. I'd recommend giving them a watch!

Source Engine Measurements
Source Engine Scale, Corrected - a Hammer Unit Isn’t Always the Same Size

I really don't think the in code heights his really accurate to how actually tall the characters are, because HL2 looks like normal sized I'd say the characters are 5,11 or 6ft and not FOUR FOOT TALL. like seriously that makes no sense at all

Finally I can do a realistic sch0+0+1 shooting with this!

they're big because half-life decided to make the map 33% bigger than it realistically should be. To be realistic, you'll need to resize your own character, though this comes with its own problems. For example, in third person, the steering wheel of the Jeep and Jalopy will become positioned inconsistently with your hands, and your head might be poking out the roof of many vehicles modeled for a normal player model size.
The problem is Valve deciding to make the maps too big for the player and NPCs.

WHY ARE THEY SO BIG

baba citizenz gro up fo fav scenonds😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

finally TABS in gmod

4'6? Damn, didn't know Dr. Freeman was a manlet.

same exact thing
"Human character models and certain other models for Source currently use 1 foot = 12 units"
4'6 is based on the measurement used for the maps, which is, for whatever reason, different from character measurements. It's rare that collision height matters for reasons other than the map, so they stated 4'6/1.4m for something that only ever matters for interacting with the map.
More accurately, Gordon Freeman is 73 HU in height, which, according to other characters (who are probably more accurate to use for your height) would be 6'1.

Apparently the Valve wiki has measurements for this and it confirms that the player is 4'6"
"72 4′ 6″ ~1.4 m Player collision height (standing)"

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dimensions

reminds me of totally acurate simulator

If it's too tall you can literally just change the multipliers

@Rebel Radio Ignoring a problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist, nor does it fix it.

Lol wow this gonna go good with Background NPCs

no money for u >:)

I can't believe that canonically we're pretty much playing as a midget...

@kenni
The map, props, etc are given different measurements to players and npcs
According to the valve developer wiki, on Dimensions, suited to HL2 and CS:S (and thus by extension Garry's Mod), the object sizes are set as follows:
1 foot = 16 HU on maps, architecture, and some prop models. That's only 3/4 inches per HU.
1 foot = 12 HU on players and NPCs. That's 1 HU to 1 inch.
1 foot = 1 HU on 3D skyboxes. That's a giant 1 HU to 12 inches.

As a result, the 73 HU player collision hull gives the player a height of 6'1.

If anything, the NPCs should be smaller lol
or, you know, the maps kinda should've been made with consistency between NPCs and maps

goofy ass

Damn daniel!

@Canibuss it works for modded ones too, their considered special characters.

That doesn’t solve anything and only limits the player.

Then stop making saves
