Denied [TTT] Crouch Jump Spamming

[Fizzy Kaminski]

Affected Services:

TTT​

Title:

Crouch Jump Spamming​

Description:

Whenever people crouch jump spam in the middle of a fight, it just makes them WORLDS harder to hit as it glitches out their playermodels. Mix that in with some of the really shitty hitboxes on models, and it makes them nearly impossible to hit. Just hoping some sort of a fix could be put out for it on the server.​

Reproduction Steps:

Just spam space bar and crouch key together.​

Demonstration:

This, unfortunately, is an ancient bug in Source that is impossible to properly fix without directly modifying the engine code - which we obviously cannot do.
Here's some information of that, if you're interested: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Duck_Jump_Fix#Introduction

There are some alternative fixes, such as limiting crouches while jumping or disabling it completely; however these have other gameplay implications and therefore should be discussed in a different place.

Mix that in with some of the really shitty hitboxes on models, and it makes them nearly impossible to hit.

The hitboxes are fine. You can even validate them yourself using HLMV. We spent a good amount of time optimizing them, we wouldn't just leave them broken.

Thanks for reporting.
