Need to crouch to get through doorway attached to elevator

This wasn’t the case before for me, but now anytime I build a doorway at the entrance to an elevator, I can’t walk through without crouching. The little height bump from the elevator base is enough to put my forhead into the top of the door frame.

Can you make a screenshot?

I have also wondered if it is possible that choosing the tallest possible setting at character creation has any impact. Don’t really want to remake my character to test right now.

I’ve noticed this too, and not just recently either.

At the time I just figured I’d somehow bungled it by placing too many plants near there (I’m a hops-o-holic), but now I’m not so sure.

It does have an impact. One of my tribe mates on a server I played in made himself really tall. There were rooms in my base that he couldn’t walk through without crouching (natural rocks coming through the floor), while I had no problems at default height.

Well that is something to think about for my next character. I wonder if there is a way to edit a character height? I naturally assumed tallest was best for archery, seeing over fences and rocks better.

Edit. Yep, there is a mod for changing a character. Scale adjustments are also permenant, but RGB changes require the mod to be active. CharEditLite. May have to give this a go and shrink myself. MAybe there is a simple ini file I can edit without the mod. Will poke around and see.

Yeah if I ever reroll, I’m going as a diminutive female, rather than a hulking male, that’s for sure. No real-life inferences should be read from the above!

I went that way, Mikey, default size since I wanted to avoid the clothes clipping bug that happens when you get out of the ‘normal’ height range.

I was a male, but in third person, decided these were not the cheeks I was looking for :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

There isn’t an ini edit for adjusting character height.

I do not know, if it would be your problem, a few days ago while rebuilding my base after an attack, I was forced to disassemble an elevator that was practically broken, when replacing a new one, I did not notice the rotation of it and one way he wouldn’t let me go through the door if he didn’t duck, I turned it and it was fixed. (My character is a pretty little woman).

Thank you, the weird thing about your message is it wasn’t the case before.

Suggestions & Advice:

  • Make your charater the smallest next time (I always do it, the reason beyond this is for example you can enter the Arena Warmaker Dungeon without the need of the Arena Key), but I see you have a tall character.
  • Do you have the same problem on a clear spot and for example I see your elevator is near/against a tree and it might catch the tree for support instead the foundation?

you can do that dungeon entrance by crouching, even with my hulking girl.

Before when it worked, I believe I had a small character. This go around I was trying for tall for the archery advantage.

I have done elevators with no other objects around. Right on straight foundation pieces and it still blocks me. I think it is just the height of the character. I hope Funcom decides to auto adjust all max character heights. I think this would be better than raising the door frames. People might have placables on the frames that get goofed up and they would also have to adjust door heights too.
