This bug is old as fvk, one picture is worth a thousand words. Picture attached. Applies to throwing the flag too.

Fix please? :y

Why the hell walls doesn't collide with head, but with torso. Yeah, Soldat's collision system sucks.

I asked MM about this a some years ago. He said he wouldn't fix it because it would give too much of an advantage by staying at the ceiling. Personally I don't agree with him though.

Sounds such an excuse doesn't it? ;)

Maybe Shoozza et al. know how to work around the spaghetti and actually get things working better and can squish yet another bug. Hopefully.

It actually makes it easier to hit them. Bare in mind ricochets.
But good point;f12.

It's ricochet because head doesn't collide. Should head collide?

I wonder how would look hopping in narrow corridors with head colliding. Maybe cause of this change head would just stuck in ceiling or it would result in kinda taller gostek which would disallow to get to certain spots in maps? Think of it this way...

with meatballs?

Having not seen the source code, he wouldn't think to be that specific.

bump. especially problematic for the knife as it only drops when you try to throw it.

What's the name of the map? Or does anyone know good maps where this can be tested (close to spawn point etc)

personally i think MM was being serious. youre flying with your head scraping against a roof, obstructing your vision and probably fucking shit up on your scalp. You shouldn't be able to do this all the time and shoot normally. Everyone will just jump and jet into the ceiling to avoid getting headshot and having the height advantage in heavy firefights..

it's much easier to hit someone whose head is in the ceiling as most of the ricocheting bullets will hit him aswell

What's the name of the map? Or does anyone know good maps where this can be tested (close to spawn point etc)

the map is flashback. alpha on laos might work well, no need for running around there

My idea was to make the head visible and not get stuck into the roof. But maybe that would give climbers some issues :/
