What unit is used for radius?

Hi

 

In eg. some packages a radius value can be set. I am a bit confused by what unit is used.

 

I found a document for Skyrim [1] that explains unit. Not sure if it applies to Fallout 4

 

I see my npc is wandering quite a distance that feels longer than what the document says (npc's radius is 512)

 

Does anyone know unit is used for radius?

 

Thank you in advance.

There are a stack of different distance units in use:

 

- 4096x4096 cell/ugrid based game units where at short range 128 is the height of a standard player as used by most Papyrus functions and weapon forms.

- Magic effect area radius is allegedly in feet not game units.

- Player menu reported weapon range units which are around 50:1 game units.

- Another set of units I cant remember ...

 

 

PS having invested a bunch of time in ultra range weapons, it is apparent that trying to convert game time:speed:distance units to real world time:speed:distance is simply not possible to produce sensible results e.g. electric pylons calculate at twice real world height.
