That's because the player logic has to run on the client as well (for
multiplayer prediction) so it's a special case.
You'll need to modify the functions in gamemovement.cpp:
const Vector& CGameMovement::GetPlayerMins( bool ducked ) const
{
return ducked ? VEC_DUCK_HULL_MIN : VEC_HULL_MIN;
}
You could add this to the movevars and copy it in from the entity - then
SetCollisionBounds() would work - but you'd need to send the hull bounds
over to the client for proper prediction. In the case of ducking, we
want to predict the transitions too, so we implemented the hull size
changes in the shared movement code. You'll probably want to do the
same if your mod is multiplayer.
