Setting warrior height to average npc height. - Guild Wars Forums

Dieselwolf · Jul 15, 2010, 06:51 PM // 18:51

I'm planning on creating a warrior for PvE and would like to scale his height to the height of most npc humans. Does anyone know where on the warrior scale the average size of a human npc or enemy is?

I think either the third or fourth movement (third movement places the slider between the third and fourth line, the fourth movement puts the slider between the fourth and fifth line) from the bottom of the scale is about right. I'm testing sizes in Pre-Searing Ascalon by standing characters inside npcs and comparing eye height.

eeuhm you know there are taller / smaller NPC's right? XD and taller / smaller enemies and obviously there is no such function to set you'r heigth to the average NPC heigth as this would be a total redundant option because most people don't really care about the heigth to much.

Characters always end up looking smaller when you actually make them compared to how they looked in the character creation. I would just max the height out all the way.

Well, if you take the henchmen as a reference, half the maximum height should do.

Thank you for the response Scorpion King. I'll keep in mind the differences when testing sizes. The first character I ever created is a warrior that was close to the max height setting. I like to think of him as my Space Marine.

Eeuhm, I understand that human NPCs don't all have the same height. I was asking whether a specific setting on the size scale for warriors was close to an average or median human NPC height.

Also, I don't remember mentioning or asking for a function that sets character height to the NPC average height.

No problem, that's what happened with my Warrior. I made him and he looked tall in the character creation, but in game and didn't seem that way. Plus this also makes the armor look odd with shorter characters.
