What are the dimensions of a player ?
The Scaling Goes As Follows :
Use the scale of 16 units in radiant equals 1 foot in real life that should sort out the size probs
here's some info
Max step Height = 18 units
Max Jump Height = 64 units (approx)
Min Standing Height = 96 units
Min Crouching Height = 64 units (approx)
Min width = 32 units
Door Height = 128 units (give or take)
Door Width = 64 units (give or take)
? Ctrl-Alt-MMB when pointing at the floor and having an entity selected will place that entity at ground level. Real useful when placing AI guys & pathnodes.
? If you want to trigger something only once, place a trigger_multiple down and change it to trigger_once in the entity window. Simply placing a trigger_once may cause problems.
(keep in mind it will only trigger once & never again!)

MMB? Middle mouse button?
Also a better way is to add a key/value of cnt/1

Time for my input
If, in game, some of the brushsides are gone, E.G. one face is dissapeared, seethrough, but cant shoot through it ect, what to do is press Ctrl + G (align the brush with the grid) and it should fix! If it doesnt, then try moving the offending side slightly.

Angles

Hard to set the pitch and yaw angles of your entity? Here is a fast way to do it.
CameraToEntity = Ctrl J (set the entity angles key based on the camera)
Select the entity and move your 3D camera to look in the desired direction (keys A and Z are for camera pitch up and down). Then hit Ctrl + J. The entity will automattically be given the same angles in its properties (key N). However, There is no camera roll (lean) in radiant, so that will still have to be set by changing the last number value for the entities "angles" key.

why trying to select multiple LODTerrain vertices, you know, when you drag a blue selection-area over the vertices, it can go a slow or notsmooth.
Just lower you grid, to 4 or so, you will notice selecting goes smoother now. after put grid back to what you prefered for manipulating your LOD

Selecting multiple brushes or faces by texture

Have you ever changed your mind about using a texture and wanted to magically replace it all with another texture? Turns out there is a way!
If "three button mouse" is set in preferences, hold Ctrl + Shift. Then click on the old texture with the center mouse button (in the texture window, not the 3D window). All of the faces that have that texture in your map will be selected! Also, if you just hold Ctrl and do it, all the brushes with that texture will be selected.
MBUTTON & CONTROL & SHIFT = Select all faces with texture
MBUTTON & CONTROL = Select all brushes with texture
Using this may cause you to start calling the middle mouse button your "Magic Button" like me, ha ha.

The docs folder of the Spearhead SDK has a file named "MoH Radiant Feature.html" which is a lot different than the one in the original MOHAATools/docs. It contains an

Insted of having to go through shortening and making another brush, divide it. Just hit clip, put the 1 and the 2 down the center and press shift+enter.
I return.

My turn now
LOAD ALL TEXTURES AT MAP OPENING
If you want to keep all the textures you are going to use in your map, do the following :
go visit all textures families and make small brushes, like bricks textured with each one of them. pick up your sky, your windows, doors, decals, whatever you are going to need.
make a wall with all the bricks.
make a group
make it detailed
put the wall somewhere in the map (somewhere you are not working on actually)
that's it you got all of them ready to use every time you open your map with radiant, it saves time loading them again and again, doesn't it?

Here goes another one :
Have you ever noticed .lin extension files created at mid-compile time?
I bet you have. It means you have a leak or a problem in your map and probably you will not be able to run it in mohaa.
Stop your compiling and go back to radiant to solve the problem.
If you do that you will save time in absurd compilations that won't work.
another one :
If anyway your game crashes while you load your map, run it again but remember to check the "dedicated server" box. You will go back to the desktop while the mohaas console will launch and it will display the error info right there.
another one :
see throught tress in radiant
I bet you all guys know this one but...here it goes
You have already put hundreds of trees in your map. You try to deal with brushes but the bloody trees with their black layers won't let you work easily. Do the following. see a button with an "A" symbol? just go and press it. wow all transparencies are on now!
last one for now :
I bet somebody said that before, but... always make backup of your .map file. I tell you this is really necessary.
hope it helps
