hostage_can_duck (default 1) - if hostages can duck or not. hostage_climb_speed (default 256.0) - the speed at which hostages climb ladders. use 0.0 to disable hostage ladder climbing. hostage_directional_ladders (default 1) - if hostages use smart ladder direction calculations to aid in climbing. disable only on maps that have awkward ladders which the hostages just can't seem to climb (I've only observed this on cs_backalley). hostage_fall_damage (default 1.0) - the fall damage scale that hostages take (so 0.5 would be half damage, for example). use 0.0 to disable hostage fall damage. also note that hostage fall damage (with a scale of 1.0) tends to be just a little bit less than player fall damage. hostage_fall_penalty (default 1) - if players lose money for damaging hostages through fall damage, and if it adds to their mp_hostagepenalty count when they kill a hostage through fall damage. hostage_use_door_distance (default 64.0) - if a door is between a hostage and his leader, the maximum distance that the hostage can be from the door to attempt to open it.
