I was able to reproduce this, but it took me about a dozen times before it finally worked; most times I clipped down through the wooden supports and landed back on the elevator (the preferred result). |

Sorry, I guess I did not write the exact conditions for the issue. I think it is 100% reproducible, and I can do it reliably in this particular case. If you fail to reproduce, it is only due to bad timing of jump. You should ensure that: 1. When you start mantling, there is enough room for crouched player on the top of the mantled thing. 2. When you finish mantling, there is already not enough room for crouched player. In this particular example, if you jump too early, then the player would finish mantling in crouched state without colliding the ceiling yet. Then he would hit the ceiling with his head as usual. If you jump too late, then at the moment mantling is about to start, the player would see that there is already not enough room for him (crouched) at the mantling destination, so mantling would not even start. |

I have two possible ideas to fix this: a) The clean but dangerous way: Would be to enable clipping detection during the whole mantle process. However, this would require new mantling animations and a whole bunch of testing. Considering how TDM is frequently praised for its mantling, I would not want to mess with this too much. b) The dirty but save way: Check clipping at the mantle-end-position each frame. As soon as the player clips at the end position, the mantle is canceled, a viewport animations returns the player view to the last non-clipping location between the mantle-start-position and the current position. Then, clipping detection is enabled again, as well as regular movement physics. |

Version (b) sound much better. |

Option (b) implemented in Rev. 7963. We might want to consider also adding a voice taunt, when the mantle is canceled. There is also another issue with that specific elevator mentioned above. Regardless of whether there is enough room above it or not, the player will always end up clipping into the "wooden ledge above the platform" while standing on it. It works perfectly fine when I try the same with the platform (instead of that ledge) and start from the cellar. I am away for the weekend, so I will have to investigate this issue later. I have tracked this follow-up issue under 0004994. |

Rev. 7973 / 15642 adds a grunt sound to canceling the mantle. |
