Hello there,

I have set up a little game in which I'm going to have characters of different sizes. I'm currently working on a tall character and its crouching ability.
Setting the player size worked using this code in my player pawn:

Begin Object Name=CollisionCylinder
CollisionRadius=+0021.000000
CollisionHeight=+00132.000000
End Object
CylinderComponent=CollisionCylinder

BaseEyeHeight=114.0
EyeHeight=114.0

CrouchHeight=87.0
CrouchRadius=21.0
Click to expand...

So far so good. However, if I'm moving the character and press crouch the character simply stops and only goes halfway into crouching. How can I fix this?

Also, I get the landing sound when crouching while the character is standing still. I assume that's because the character is rather tall (and therefore "falling" when crouching) but how would I get rid of the sound?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's a rather curious thing to be going wrong. I don't have any Unreal 3 code to hand, but I would suggest digging around the Pawn crouching code to see if it fiddles with stuff like the collision cylinder. It makes sense to me that it would resize the cylinder when a player is crouched, and this could be your problem.

Did you mean, is your pawn always stops while it's crouching?

About landing sound, I think you should deal with function Landed(vector HitNormal);, arguments can be other, just an example.
