Hit boxes... even now?

There's no such thing as per-pixel hit detection.

Repeat after me -
per-polygon hit detection

per-polygon hit detection

per-polygon hit detection

you know what i meant...........
actually maybe u didnt...

Off-topic, but what is your avatar showing?

if u saw the 2004 e3 hl2 vid, there is a part where gordan shoots a rocket, goes in a circle, hits the ombine, and flies away from the explosion

It's the scene from the E32k4 video where Gordon pops that combine scum off of the crane with a rocket.

Guys, there is nothing to worry about, check these out:

Seems like those boxes are the collision hulls for the physics engine as opposed to hit detection boxes.

Thanks ktime and Beast

Per-poly hit detection shouldn't require hitboxes at all. Ray intersect per-poly hit detection even has a directx demo in the directx sdk, go look at it, the one with the tiger.

The best explanation I've heard so far is that the boxes we see here define ragdoll primitives.

Don't pay attention to that pic, it is no indication of how good the hit detection is in CS:S.

Watch those vids for proof, it is quite simply incredibly accurate. This is just scaremongering.

its a clip from the e3 2004 video. its a combine on the platform of a crane, being shot by gordon using the laser guided rocket.

I've just read the entire post and while I haven't watched the vids, I've gleamed this much from the posts-

START- terrible hit-box allegations.
massive denials,
some people worried,
proof demanded,
counter proof handed in (vids),
counter proof hailed even by thread starter..

BUT THEN a new contender steps in.....
whats this, the proof is bagged as unscientific,
the true nature of the hit-box problem is unveiled.
OOOH whats this?
The hit-boxes are fine when stationary,
BUT OH MY GOD NO
When you MOVE around they lag behind you

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD.

(apparently if you get someone to straffe from side to side in front of you, and try not to hit them but shoot thin air on the trailing side of the head((where they just were in effect)) -you can score a headshot with actually hitting them)


I can't confirm this for myself till tomorrow so lets wait till we've had a good test of it before we jump to conclusions(either waytrue/false/true/false/true/false???????).

But it would seem the vote is not in yet :dozey:
