Team Fortress 2/Mapper's Reference

A quick reference for the numbers and statistics that any Team Fortress 2 level designer should know. Most importantly, use these numbers to help make a map feel in proportion, as TF2 maps are slightly larger than maps for other, more realistic mods.

Model sizes

These are the minimum empty space dimensions required for a model to fit and function in the game. Players can move through spaces with these dimensions, and Engineer structures can be built and operate in them. All sizes are in Hammer Units.

Model	Height	Width / Depth
Player (standing)	83	49
Player (ducking)	56	49
Sentry gun (level 3)	87	49
Dispenser	83	49
Teleporter	95	57
Maximum	95	57

Jump distances

The maximum jump clearances for each class, in Hammer units. A player can clear a gap that is as wide as the Horizontal clearance for his class. He can climb a ledge that is as tall as his Vertical clearance. Without jumping a player can climb a vertical height of 18 units (the largest single step of a stairs).

Class	Jump Type	Horizontal	Vertical
Scout	Normal	320~352	72
	Double jump	608~640	117
Soldier * = wall climb	Normal	224~256	72
	1 rocket	992 (1024 max)	448 (576 max)
	2 Rocket *	N \ A	928~992
	3 Rocket *	N \ A	1184~1248
	4 Rocket *	N \ A	1312~1376
Pyro	Normal	256~288	72
Demoman * = Medic necessary	Normal	250~256	70
	1 sticky	2112~2144	728 (928-960 max)
	2 stickies	5845?	3072~3104
	3 stickies *	?	over 6323
	4 stickies *	?	over 7769
Heavy	Normal	192~224	72
Engineer * = used as platform	Normal	256~288	72
	Teleporter *	?	84
	Dispenser *	288~320	127
	Sentry *	~315	138
Medic	Normal	256~288	72
Sniper	Normal	256~288	72
Spy	Normal	256~288	72
Maximum	?	?	over 1952

Note:All jumps require crouching after jumping in order to reach a ledge at the given height, otherwise vertical clearance is 27 units less. Wall climb requires a Soldier to shoot the wall before reaching the peak of a rocket jump and requires a Demoman to attach a sticky to the wall and detonate it before reaching the peak of a sticky jump. Mappers should keep in mind the limitations of the average player to allow them access to necessary areas while gifting advanced players with access to secret/advantageous areas.

Class Speeds

The speeds below are measured in Hammer units per second. A spy, for example, has a movement speed of 300, in ten seconds (the max amount of time he can stay cloaked) he can cover a distance of 3000 Hammer units.

Class	Forwords	Backwords
Scout	400	360
Soldier	240	216
Pyro	300	270
Demoman	280	252
Heavy	230	207
Engineer	300	270
Medic	320	288
Sniper	300	270
Spy	300	270

Note:For a rough idea of how long it takes a certain class to reach a certain part of the map starting from their spawn room, divide the distance in Hammer units by their speed and you'll have the time in seconds.

Damage amounts

Note:For creating breakable obstacles (func_breakable) and/or targets in a map. Damage data gathered using func_breakable's - Min Damage to hurt. Settings for the entities were: Strength > 1.0, Physical Impact damage scale > 0.1
