I forgot to mention this in my first post but... Your material is amazing and so helpful. I can't imagine that I would even be attempting level design without your help.

AlexG 04 Aug 2009, 06:38 Hey Sean, Jump Jump+Crouch Crouching: 21 21 Standing: 20 56 Walking: 20 56 Running: 20 56 Sprinting: 20 56 Sean 03 Aug 2009, 17:11 Thanks for this! I always had trouble with dimensions (everything would be too big). Quick question though, what's the maximum height a player can jump? Powered by Scriptsmill Comments Script
