The title really says it all. What's a good size for a vent for people to crawl through?
And also I want to make a secret area, like a wall that looks solid but you can walk through it, and hit a button that causes music to start playing. How would I do that?

For your secret the wall could be a func_illusionary and you use a func_button that is tired to an ambit_generic (which plays the sound).

You will need to PAK the sound into the map.

"Standard" vents like in Hydro or Turbine are 96x96 internal and 128x128 external (16 unit walls).

and because I'm a pedant, players are actually 48 wide by 82/62 high, but need extra space to fit.

If the vent's smaller than the above you could also use some grease smeared all over your player with a trigger that will cause a func_door to act like a ram rod and shove the player into the hole - of course it will probably kill them - but if you're not worried about that sort of thing - I'd say it's a go!

Make the button activate on damage because it doesn't work otherwise without enabling cheats and setting a server variable
