that's 'centerviewed'. since q1 it's been like this. you CANNOT push a player downwards. a mega's push doesn't do anything for someone who is below the gunner (sorta, this is a big summation but for all intents and purposes it's true). This goes with ALL damage and map-based pushes; its impossible to push downwards.

it's about 3 lines of code to fix. all Id games you cannot push a player downwards; weird things happen. well maybe 6, 3 in one spot 3 in gravity stuff.

the below image is a trigger push (big box) and a target (smaller box). if the "Z" (height) origin is below the originating entity's origin, some weird crap happened and it was never passed for vector stuff on velocity.

this was impossible before:
