==Source Engine Scale Calculations==
The [[Source Engine]] 'game unit' corresponds to the Grid Unit in [[Hammer]] and [[XSI]] editors. The Scale used for Source game maps and models is based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_%28length%29 Imperial Foot] so Metric measurements do not translate easily. {{note|Some handy online measurement conversion calculators include [http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm distance] and [http://www.onlineconversion.com/speed_common.htm speed]. A very basic Vista Sidebar gadget is available [http://www.new-life.org.au/~tin/SourceCalc.gadget here] to calculate map units (no others) from real world units (meter, centimeter, inch and foot). There is also [http://www.moddb.com/engines/source/downloads/hammer-units-conversion-tool another useful tool], which integrates into Hammer, for converting all three types of game units into metric or imperial units on-the-fly all the while working on objects. And lastly a small [http://www.codersoft.net/SourceUnitConverter.exe standalone application] for converting map, character model, prop model, and sky box units to and from metric and imperial units.}}
{{note|Hammer units are equal to 3DSMax's generic units.}}
# Maps, architecture and some prop models use a scale of '''1 foot = 16 units'''.
# Skyboxes (which are 1/16th scale of ordinary maps) use '''1 foot = 1 unit'''.
# Human Character models and certain other models for [[Source Engine]] currently use '''1 foot = 12 units'''.
Texturemaps are applied to Models and Brushwork in the [[Source Engine]] and are therefore scaled relative to game units.
* At the default [[Texturemap]] scale (0.25) '''1 texture pixel = 0.25 x 0.25 units''' (or 4x4 texels = 1 grid unit). Eg: an (undistorted) 512 x 512 texture covers 128 x 128 game units.
* At the default [[Lightmap]] scale (16) '''1 lightmap pixel = 16 x 16 units'''.
Speed is usually given in map-units per second. To convert this to Miles per Hour, multiply by (15/352).

====Jumping Using the Gravity Gun====

Firing a single shot straight down at a prop_physics model (props_debris/metal_panel01a.mdl) = 350 units

Jumping, pulling, then firing, then pulling, and firing again = 400+ units

===Falling Damage===
This is the damage taken when falling straight down.
* Terminal velocity: 3500 (150mph)
