UDK - Character too tall when playing in viewport

beefaroni

Hi guys. I'm having a problem with my characters scale in UDK. I'll create an object that is 6ft; however, when I play the map in the viewport, my character is around 2x as tall as he should be. Image below of my problem.

On a side note, I did not install any Unreal assets during the installation.

What game mode are you using? Most documentation about heights in the UDK is based on UTGame but the "new" default game mode is SimpleGame or UDKBase which is taller than the old UTGame.

You can change the height inside YourPawn.uc's default properties block. Just add

BaseEyeHeight=38.0 // SimplePawn's BaseEyeHeight is 60
EyeHeight=38.0 // SimplePawn's EyeHeight is 60

inside your default properties block and it should work.
Or the easy way just change your game mode to UTGame inside the editor.

hi, go to world properties and set your game pi type and mode type to unreal death match. Thats what is causing the trouble .
