This may be new and it may be old -- I don't know, I've only been playing since 1.9

However, I came up with this gem by accident and actually loved it. I have only been able to try it once in game but it worked GREAT.


From eye level with the character -- the users head sticks out rather far.


View from the side.


First person view from inside the crawl space. The user can't see or shoot above the wall.


Example demo
http://jhenry.org/SchoolWork/Uploads/sfwall.dem

Save file to the SourceForts directory
(example: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\sourceforts)

Start Sourceforts... hit the console key ~ and type in playdemo sfwall and hit enter.

For some reason, you ahve to pick your class (wtf?) so just hit ok or cancel to close the screen.
Give a few seconds for video to load.

creative, i like it. how much time does it take to get it lined up right?

That does seem like a nice idea. Seems like it would be a pain to get the long thin peices lined up to the height of the crouched bounding box.

nah
just put a block against the wall
then push the plate ontop of it to the wall


very good idea coolio

It wasn't that hard. It honestly took me twice as long to create the main wall than the crawl space.

Steps to creation (helpful for new people):
1. Spawn two 1x1 boxes.
2. Place them along a wall you created or a wall in the level. Make sure you put some distance between the two boxes so your plank will be straight!
3. Spawn two 1x5 planks.
4. Rotate one of the planks so top and bottom are horizontal with the ground. Push against the wall ontop of the two blocks. Drop it and freeze it when it is flat against the blocks and the wall.
5. Rotate the other plank so the top and bottom are horizontal and drop infront of the two 1x1 boxes. Push against the plank so it is flat against the two blocks.
6. Unfreeze the two blocks and move them out of the way. Then, carefully unfreeze the bottom plank (the wall) and move it slowly towards the upper plank. When you think you can crawl through it -- test it

FIRST POST HAS EXAMPLE DEMO

Very nice! a variation of the coffin crawl that makes it much easier to shoot in and makes headshots a breeze! Excellent find!

Theres a better way to do this methinks, that provides even less cover.


A magical diagram:




The blue block is a construction block that I pushed the plates up to. The only dissadvantages I could think of is that you can only build it against PERFECT walls, or you get caught on any nooks, and the enemy has a better chance of actually shooting you back.

you could always jump around the wall from the side

The first idea is really good for nades khuskans one is nice aswell as you can blast away at the guy but it might give to much open space for the people to shoot through

Khus: that's what is so cool about the original, you've got the easiest headshots ever on the guy doing the crawl, but he can't shoot out at you at all. Your design does previde more shooting surface to work with, but the fact that they can shoot out is a massive downside.
