Unsticking players
 

Methods ruled out:

-Changing collision groups. Reason: Changing collision groups on colliding entities seems to be triggering some weird engine bug in some servers possibly also on certain maps.

-ShouldCollide Reason (2 actually): 1. Once you start returning false in the hook anyone can walk through them. So it can allow players to exploit by clusterfucking together. Reason 1 doesn't sound too bad, but here's reason 2. You are invincible when shouldcollide returns false. So now we have invincible clusterfucks. Bad.


The code can flawlessly detect when 2 or more players become stuck within a frame of it happening.

Shoot some ideas at me, anything is appreciated.

Changing the bbox of the players worked for player-player collisions. It only crashed the server when moving around too long with the changed bounds. Try to change it to like 1x1x1 boxes:o
If you only change it while being stuck and stop when they're seperated again, it may work.

tracehull using the players bbox as the hull to check if another client is within it.

Re: Unsticking players
 

hull trace is the best bet, but i found it doesnt prevent 100% of stuck-ing locations. (it worked properly 100% in cs1.6)

Re: Unsticking players
 

I think the problem wasn't how to detect if players are stuck within other players, but how to unstick them, if they are stuck.

Peace-Maker, I will try that out. I'm just skeptical of how safe it is to do that.
