Re: How Tall is MC?

In Response To: How Tall is MC? (Sep7imus)

: Remember this thread?
: Anyway, I thought I had figured out an easy way to measure this, but it came
: up screwy.
: Here is what I did.
: Multiplayer.
: NAV points turned on.
: Each player has a specified target.
: 2 players.

: So, the nav points show the distance between the two players, and since there
: are only two players, when they look at each other, the distances are the
: same. Got it?
: So, I figured that having one MC stand on the other would give me the height,
: right? Like, if it measure the distance from their heads to their heads,
: then that distance would be the height, and if it measured from some spot
: on their torsoes, then that would be the height, etc.
: But, it didn't work. The distance from the MC on top to the MC on the bottom
: is 1.0m .obviously too short. And the distance from the MC on the bottom
: to the one on top is 3.2m, obviously too tall. So, it must measure FROM
: one point on the MC's body (near the middle) and TO a different point
: (like his head). I think.
: If so, then that would mean, I think, that the average of those two distances
: (2.1m) would be MC's height, right? Someone who can do basic math should
: verify whether this is right or not.

: So, here are two (fairly crudely rendered) MC's standing on top of one
: another. (Crap, I can't get this to show up right in the preview. Look at
: the source of my mesage below for what it is supposed to look like. And
: why does it treat this so screwily?)

: 0 ---top MC's head---------------------
: T -top torso----------------- |
: A -legs 1.0m 3.2m
: 0 ---bottom MC's head--------- |
: T -bottom torso-----------------------
: A -legs

: -Sep7imus (Did that make any sense?)

what if they swap positions? wait, are there even distances less than 1.0m, maybe it's rounded up? dunno.
