[TF2] Projectile Collision Fix
 

⠀
21/12/17 note: As of the latest TF2 update, it seems like all known cases of this bug are fixed, so the plugin should no longer be necessary.


This plugin fixes some weapon projectiles colliding incorrectly with the non-solid bounding boxes of certain map objects. This causes them to disappear/explode in mid-air for seemingly no reason.
The issue affects the Wrap Assassin, Bison, Pomson and Dragon's Fury. The Wrap Assassin in particular is very broken (it explodes in your face in the entire last area of badwater, for example)

Here's a recent video by shounic about the issue:

Nice work. I love using the wrap assassin but holy heck is it pretty broken. Now I can finally get the true use from it. Thanks

I haven't gotten to try it yet but I hope it works as intended. You are amazing for making this! Thank you!

This plugin causes performance issues when used

Re: [TF2] Projectile Collision Fix
 

How so? It runs one trace per frame for every eligible projectile that is colliding with something (which generally only happens once unless that projectile passes through one of the bugged bounding boxes), it has been used in several servers without issues.

Hi, found an improvement for this. Arrows from the Huntsman/Fort. Compound also have issues with bounding boxes. I did manage to fix it myself (despite having almost no knowledge of SourcePawn), by adding "tf_projectile_arrow" to the list of projectiles the plugins checks for. tf_walkway_fix has some serious issues with arrows. The entire walkway itself seems to be inside a bounding box.

Re: [TF2] Projectile Collision Fix
 

Could you go into more detail about this? Arrows work fine for me on tr_walkway_fix. As far as I know, they are not affected by this issue.

Re: [TF2] Projectile Collision Fix
 

Well for some reason, it affects me on the map I have. So maybe Im on an different version.

Re: [TF2] Projectile Collision Fix
 

Is this necessary with the latest TF2 patch, or did they not fully fix the issue? https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/7717612/

Re: [TF2] Projectile Collision Fix
 

Still needed. TF2 has the same problem with large bounding boxes not just func_lod.
