Talk:Dimensions

Does the game seriously follow the laws of the speed of sound? --AndrewNeo 16:00, 10 Nov 2005 (PST)

Yeah, the Speed of sound travels 13,044 units/second or 741mph (there is not a definite speed of sound, but it is commonly measured to be 760mph above sea level) Here are some more interesting dimensions of HL2 Half-life 2 Dimensions --Mykeh 21:43, 1 Dec 2005 (PST)

Actually, that's the page that AndrewNeo was asking about. He wanted to know whether it was correct. I'm curious too. —Maven ^(talk) 12:30, 2 Dec 2005 (PST)

It sounds totally wrong...nowhere in the SDK have I seen any implementation of a sound travel system...It'd be safe to assume that this isn't in it.—ts2do ^(Talk | @) 18:14, 2 Dec 2005 (PST)

Or I'm looking over it, or I'm just mistaking, but I read somewhere that a player model in Valve Hammer Editor was 64 units tall... But if you're going to measure it, it's 78 units, which is far more believable, since:
64 units = 64 inches = (2,54 x 64 =) 162,56 centimeters... Which is very small for a person.
But:
78 units = 78 inches = (2,54 x 78 =) 198,12 centimeters, which is far more believable for a CT or T model...

Well it says here 73 units—ts2do 10:07, 23 Apr 2006 (PDT)

The models themselves are 72 units high (which translates to 72 inches, or 6 feet), and require 1 unit of clearance to be able to move under something. If I remember correctly, the models from Half-Life 1 are 64 units tall, thus giving them the squashed midget look we find so familiar. --Bwmathis 12:45, 23 Apr 2006 (PDT)

Model height is 78 units

I just made a screenie of it... Look on the right side >>> (Click to enlarge!) --CrabbyData 13:01, 23 Apr 2006 (PDT)

That's incredibly strange. When I create a new map and drop in an info_player_start (or info_player_terrorist, etc), it shows them as 72 units tall. I'll see about uploading some images. --Bwmathis 13:08, 23 Apr 2006 (PDT)
